Today was an interesting day. We were introduced to project 3... which we have to make a mood-board and concept-board for, due Monday. Then afterward we went down to the digifab lab to look at our new file to print (for cost), and to noah's lab to talk about project 3.
The new housing is much more affordable, probably about $100 at most per unit... much better than $200. We are close to being able to print, which is good because it will probably take 12 hours to print both, and then another 4 hours to clean all of the excess material off (all of which will be done for us). It still amazes me that something can be printed in 3D. I will be interested to see it when it is finished printing.
For project three we have been asked to synthesize everything we've learned so far. Currently we are thinking about the lillypad arduino to create a device that goes on clothing and collects information from its person, such as movement, perhaps vital signs, sounds, etc. (information of life basically) and then turns the information into a visual representation using Isadora (organic lines, forms, colors, etc.). This is interesting because it is taking something organic, making it digital, and then making it organic again through digital means.
For our mood board we are trying to evoke this with images of plants, people in motion, cloth, origami, etc.
I personally am putting this together for Monday and I think it's a really great way to collect thoughts in a visual way (besides writing them down).
The semester is quickly diminishing... we still have alot of work to do. More later...
