In a year in which online/networked technologies and platforms have become a seemingly indispensable mode of communication, the 9th annual '''Unravel the Code International Workshop''' aims to tackle the missing haptic responders that are so essential to our sense of connection. Can we prototype a sense of proximity by proxy? How might we deliver a push, pat, or pinch notification? And what new forms of tele-present tenderness will emerge? These questions will be unraveled and built back up into responsive works by an interdisciplinary group of students of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Sint Lucas Antwerp, and the Willem de Kooning Academy.

| '''Telepresence of Touch Tutorial Part 1'''
 
How do we know we have been touched? How can we communicate that sense of touch to someone who is physically distant from us? We need a touch-sensitive input, some sort of signaling, and a way to get information from one place to another. In this tutorial you will lean about the five inputs of the Circuit Python (express or blue fruit) and write some python scripts to make use of them.

Furniture, decorations, cutlery, doodads, and bric-a-brac come to life as both kinetic art and telecommunication interfaces, building a complex arrangement of movement and gesture. Imagine a shared creation, a social ritual, a dance through objects, an electric dinner-table that is played.''

===Waves of Meeting===
 +
When you're in a meeting the level of interest is important. People Nodding, sitting up straight, making eye contact. It motivates you as a speaker to proceed the way you are presenting without being unsure to miss someone's attention. You can tell by their body language if they are holding on to the meeting.
 +
</br>
 +
 
 +
Our project is a proposal for a solution of the lack of human interaction given by platform like zoom. Have you ever been presenting in a video call and looked around to notice all the blank faces staring back at you? Are they paying attention to your presentation?
 +
</br>
 +
 
 +
In these situation we miss a lot of information about non-verbal communication. We specifically focused on the amount of attention payed by the users, and came up with a tool that can inform the speaker about how much focused the listener is.
 +
</br>
 +
 
 +
This concept is based off the way the railroad industry measures the attention of their conductors. Conductors must hold a switch the entire time they are driving.
 +
The physical holding of an object sends information about the amount of focus. On our device when someone loosens their grip a graphic of water rising will cover their face on the screen. The less you pay attention, the higher the water level rises until it covers your image entirely. If you pay attention for long periods of time you will be rewarded, the sensor of the device will indicate that you have been holding on tightly and it will light up and a graphic of a sun will appear on your image. That way you get rewarded and the person talking will know you are paying attention.

=="Group 2" - '''Fluidity of Presence'''==

<span style='width:65em;font-size:15px;font-family:Helvetica;display:block;padding:5px;color:black;background:linear-gradient(#b8fffe,#b9fffe,#b9FFCC);border:1px dotted black;'>

''Contemporary communication platforms (such as Zoom or Messenger) often strike us by their inability to simulate the fluidity of physical presence (including degrees of nearness and distance) that is an inherent feature of our embodied, social existence. Binary states encouraged by the nature of digital ecosystems (online/offline, on/off) fail to address this essential dimension of our feeling of togetherness. The abruptness of a Zoom call drop, the jarring instant-materialization of a face on a screen—these experiences reinforce our sense of the flatness and tenuousness of digital connection. Is this an inherent limitation of virtual interactions, or are there ways to recreate the joy of a serendipitous sighting of a friend on the street (the slow approach initiated by eye-contact and a wave from afar); the comforting sound of family members busy in other quarters of the house; or the lingering farewell after a long and long-overdue meeting?

===Beyond Digital Binaries===
 +
For our UNRVL 2020 project, we have set about creating a means of communication that could give a sense of the fluidity of presence inherent to real-life social interactions, as well as encourage the development of virtual rituals and facilitate spontaneous interactions across virtual platforms.

Your friend could really use the comfort of someone, just to know that they are there. You give them a flower to remind them you think of them: A physical representation of you that is there for them, even when you aren’t at the time.
 +
Flow aims to give a way of knowing that you are there for them, by representing your presence in a subtle way, in the same way you would give a flower as a part of yourself. However by the changing color, connected to your movement, it allows for a clearer feeling of warmth as you are alive and clearly up to something, judging by the changing color

UNRVL 9: Sense of Connection

UNRVL9-SenseofConnection.png



An encouraging squeeze of the hand, an amical arm around your shoulder, a comforting hug, the warm breath of someone looking over your shoulder ... such normal, matter of course (in dutch, vanzelfsprekende) gestures have evaporated from our current reality. Sensing the room - feeling (and feeding off) the energy of the group? Neither are truly feasible in the current shared online spaces in that we rely on to 'meet' or 'convene’.

Douglas Rushkoff writes;

Digital Media Still Isn’t Very Good at Connecting People— at least not in a way that the body and brain recognize as real. Neuroscientists have now established, human beings require input from organic, three-dimensional space in order to establish trusting relationships or maintain peace of mind.

Sure, we can see and hear each other. But are we able to connect?

In a year in which online/networked technologies and platforms have become a seemingly indispensable mode of communication, the 9th annual Unravel the Code International Workshop aims to tackle the missing haptic responders that are so essential to our sense of connection. Can we prototype a sense of proximity by proxy? How might we deliver a push, pat, or pinch notification? And what new forms of tele-present tenderness will emerge? These questions will be unraveled and built back up into responsive works by an interdisciplinary group of students of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Sint Lucas Antwerp, and the Willem de Kooning Academy.

Unravel the What??


UNRVL 9: Sense of Connection took place in Antwerp, Baltimore, Rotterdam, and signal traffic in-between, from October 12-16th. The UNRVL platform aims to opens up creative understandings of emerging technologies through intensive international workshops. By historically examining the making of technologies, as well as leveraging interdisciplinarity, the goal is to foster students to reach out for new socio-technical perspectives, as well as build back concrete skills respective to the areas of their expertise.

About the Collaborating Progams


Unravel the Code WDKA is a project that brings students across the Commercial, Autonomous and Social Practices together, it's heart and home is in the Stations, and it still abides by its original Manifesto.

Unravel the Code MICA is a course draws upon traditional crafts to explore emerging technologies of making. The UNRVL students come from a rich variety of majors and backgrounds, and the content of the class is also spans a tremendous range.

The premaster program of Sint Lucas Antwerpen focuses on the development of an art or design practice within the domain of digital technology. Alike MICA & WDKA, the approach of Saint Lucas program emphasises interdisciplinarity, encourages and research-driven work.

Schedule Overview (subject of frequent changes)

Our (tele)communication channels will be...

  1. Wiki (the one that you're in right now!): for information about the workshop and posting documentation
  2. Discord : for inbetween banter, troubleshooting support, hanging out, team chats (you have received an invite from us - if not then mail your faculty's tutors)
  3. ZOOM : to meet, show and tell (Zoom links will be posted in the Discord channel)
  4. Github : repository for downloads of files & code is
    https://github.com/paulmirel/telepresence_of_touch
    and the zip to download is
    https://github.com/paulmirel/telepresence_of_touch/archive/20200912-awg-dir.zip
  5. Google Drive : for collecting and organizing documentation per group & final presentations

First Impressions - Awkward Zoom Room

Who is part of your UNRVL Workshop group? In this randomly generated group call you will find out with whom you will will be working with. Since remote colabs are never smooth from the start, we aim to make this the most awkward 15 minutes of your entire workshop week. Please follow the strict format for the call:

1. Join the room at precisely 21:40 CET / 15:38 EST

2. Commence 5 minutes of silent staring. Whom ever makes the first peep, becomes the dedicated note-taker for all your future meetings.

3. Introduce yourself by sharing a photo from your past that would fit under the title “the awkwardness was palpable!”

4. Discuss each of your your super-powers - a skill, talent, affinity for a material/medium, the crux of your artistic practice, and/or any unusual knowledge that you might hold.

5. Discuss each of your coping mechanisms for feeling close to those you can not physically meet.

6. Agree on a youtube karaoke number and a dedicated person to share their screen. You know what to do next.

7. End the call 5 seconds before the song finishes

15:30 - 17:30 09:30 - 11:30 Telepresence of Touch Tutorial Part 1

How do we know we have been touched? How can we communicate that sense of touch to someone who is physically distant from us? We need a touch-sensitive input, some sort of signaling, and a way to get information from one place to another. In this tutorial you will lean about the five inputs of the Circuit Python (express or blue fruit) and write some python scripts to make use of them.

In this warm up assignment, each group is ask to devise telepresent alternatives to the standard form of greeting in Belgium, the Netherlands and the United States. These new telepresent greetings will be preformed as part of Wednesdays start session.

The three forms of greeting are:

1. The Belgian left-side cheek touch (with optional kissing noise)

2. The Dutch right-left-right head bobbing kiss (with mandatory over-pronounced kissing noise)

3. The North-American bear hug.

    Ubermatic This project from 2002 is very fitting to our theme of telepresence and communicating over the internet:The LiveForm:Telekinetics (LF:TK) project re-imagines the familiar objects and utensils of our everyday social spaces as an electronically activated play environment, capable of transmitting over distance the physical presence and social gesture that comprise such a vital element of human interaction. Furniture, decorations, cutlery, doodads, and bric-a-brac come to life as both kinetic art and telecommunication interfaces, building a complex arrangement of movement and gesture. Imagine a shared creation, a social ritual, a dance through objects, an electric dinner-table that is played.

Waves of Meeting

When you're in a meeting the level of interest is important. People Nodding, sitting up straight, making eye contact. It motivates you as a speaker to proceed the way you are presenting without being unsure to miss someone's attention. You can tell by their body language if they are holding on to the meeting.

Our project is a proposal for a solution of the lack of human interaction given by platform like zoom. Have you ever been presenting in a video call and looked around to notice all the blank faces staring back at you? Are they paying attention to your presentation?

In these situation we miss a lot of information about non-verbal communication. We specifically focused on the amount of attention payed by the users, and came up with a tool that can inform the speaker about how much focused the listener is.

This concept is based off the way the railroad industry measures the attention of their conductors. Conductors must hold a switch the entire time they are driving. The physical holding of an object sends information about the amount of focus. On our device when someone loosens their grip a graphic of water rising will cover their face on the screen. The less you pay attention, the higher the water level rises until it covers your image entirely. If you pay attention for long periods of time you will be rewarded, the sensor of the device will indicate that you have been holding on tightly and it will light up and a graphic of a sun will appear on your image. That way you get rewarded and the person talking will know you are paying attention.

"Group 2" - Fluidity of Presence


Contemporary communication platforms (such as Zoom or Messenger) often strike us by their inability to simulate the fluidity of physical presence (including degrees of nearness and distance) that is an inherent feature of our embodied, social existence. Binary states encouraged by the nature of digital ecosystems (online/offline, on/off) fail to address this essential dimension of our feeling of togetherness. The abruptness of a Zoom call drop, the jarring instant-materialization of a face on a screen—these experiences reinforce our sense of the flatness and tenuousness of digital connection. Is this an inherent limitation of virtual interactions, or are there ways to recreate the joy of a serendipitous sighting of a friend on the street (the slow approach initiated by eye-contact and a wave from afar); the comforting sound of family members busy in other quarters of the house; or the lingering farewell after a long and long-overdue meeting?

hello this is group 2. [From left] Jin, Michelle, Fien, Ezra, Celi, Marit/Arimit, Amrith, Arimit/Marit.




Beyond Digital Binaries

For our UNRVL 2020 project, we have set about creating a means of communication that could give a sense of the fluidity of presence inherent to real-life social interactions, as well as encourage the development of virtual rituals and facilitate spontaneous interactions across virtual platforms.

Your friend could really use the comfort of someone, just to know that they are there. You give them a flower to remind them you think of them: A physical representation of you that is there for them, even when you aren’t at the time. Flow aims to give a way of knowing that you are there for them, by representing your presence in a subtle way, in the same way you would give a flower as a part of yourself. However by the changing color, connected to your movement, it allows for a clearer feeling of warmth as you are alive and clearly up to something, judging by the changing color
