My name is Tim Reuser and I'm a second years product design student at the WDKA. I choose the practise digital craft because I'm interested in learning more about the topic of craftsmanship and industry. I like the more theoretical approach this quarter offers and at the same time going to the workshop to test things hands-on. For me doing and learning is the same thing. The knowledge I gain from making things and reflecting on them is my biggest source of inspiration.

First ideas/ tests

IMG 8609.JPG Here I did some handmade embroidery. It works by stitching a single thread through a fabric. It's very time consuming but therefore very satisfaction when finished


IMG 8611.JPG Here a first piece I did using a PFAFF embroidery machine at school. I found out the the machine does not recognize vector lines, only pixels. That's why I did a test with a drawing that uses a single continuos line. The machine just choose it's own path and the result wasn't very impressive


IMG 8610.JPG During my last test I learned that the machine doesn't recognize lines and figures out its own path using algorithms. To explore this a bit more I randomly spaced squares to find out what would happen.

experiments with my new learnings

after doing some test with the embroidery machine I developed this idea that I perhaps imitate an old television screen using red/green/blue lines and making an image with this. Unfortunately the machine couldn't read the file because the lines were too near to each other.

Claire had a really nice workspace. For her work she uses data and applies that to her textile works. Also the uses a program calles processing to come up with fractal textures. The thing that bothered me a little that the things that come out don't really communicate their making process. You really need to know what happend to understand what you are seeing. To me her designs felt quite random and maybe even a bit arbitrary.
