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.
-
Zero-waste Pressure Sensor Swatches
I'm making swatches of a Zero-waste pressure sensor for the 2015 e-Textile Summer Camp Swatch Exchange.
-
Sound Scales Swatches
I'm making swatches of my Sound Scales textile for the 2014 e-Textile Summer Camp Swatch Exchange.
-
Sound Scales
Sound Scales explores the possibilities of creating a tangible, wearable audio atmosphere with 160 individually-addressable piezo vibration speakers.
-
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.
