Projects & Research

The Manifold Project

Peter Tettelaar of OtherUse and I are experimenting with flexible PCBs for fashion and textile designers. Read about it on this site or follow us on our blog.
Sound Scales

Sound Scales explores the possibilities of creating a tangible, wearable audio atmosphere.
Solar Fiber

Solar Fiber is a research and development initiative to produce a photovoltaic yarn. More information on this site or on the Solar Fiber website.
E-textile Entropy

A work in progress, Entropy is a series of experiments and explorations in creating and testing conductive wool textiles. Read more about it.
Lace Sensor Dresses

Interactive dresses (made with Anja Hertenberger) embedded with conductive lace sensors the trigger audio poems. Read more or visit the project blog.
3D Printed Origami Textiles

A short, concentrated collaboration during the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival exploring the possibilities of 3D printing techniques and textiles. See our results!
Quiz Booth Buttons

Hardware time: custom buttons for the quiz booths at the EYE Film Museum in Amsterdam - a project with Ubi de Feo of Hello Savants.
TK 730

For our V2_ Summer Sessions 2011 Residency, Ricardo, Anja, Leonie and I designed and built a knitting typewriter.
Lace Sensor Project

Anja Hertenberger and I are collaborating with the Museum de Kantfabriek to develop sensors made from conductive lace. Read more or visit our blog.
Secret Keeper Gloves

A soft-circuit gestural interface to record and play back a secret. Record is activated when the wearer cups her hands. Play is triggered by holding the hand to the ear.
Solar Studies

I'm experimenting with wearable solar energy and rechargeable batteries, including a wearable solar panel made from hacked electronic components.
Paillard Punch Installation

I designed an installation piece for Les Moulins de Paillard in France inspired by weaving, looms, punch cards and the history of the mill.
Textile Movement Studies

As part of the V2_ E-Textile Workspace, I explored the possibilities of autonomous movement in textiles.
Apology Helmet

Sometimes it's difficult to apologise. Luckily, with the Apology Helmet, all you have to do is move your mouth and the helmet does the rest.
Greetometer Handshake Trainer

The Greetometer Handshake Trainer measures the grip, angle and sweatiness of your handshake and gives you feedback in realtime.
see-thru-me

See-thru-me gives the illusion of light shining through the body. When a light is shone on the back of the wearer, corresponding LEDs on the front light up.
Test(leds)

Test(leds) is a game you can never win: try to turn on the LEDs faster than a computer program. A practical exercise in applying the techniques of sewn circuits.
Light Pressure

An exploratory exercise to see how LEDs can be embedded into beading. Also applies the fabric pressure sensor technique from Plusea's instructable.
series 00

Before I managed to get electronics to actually do things, I made a collection of decorative embroidered poetry programming on accessories.
