We made three video's about three other classmates. The information we got from them was not that much, only a piece of clothing, their ID card, and google screenshots of a location which is or was important to them. With this we made up kind of fictional alter ego's. With an arduino we made a check in pale, where they could scan their WDKA pass and see their movie we made about them played on the screen. Cause we got a lot of clothing, and adventurous places which were important to them we decided to make a check-in pale like a suitcase to travel with.

In photoshop we made patterns inspired on large pixels, so we could transfer them digitally to the knitting machine. Here are four designs by me, I was inspired by the chaos in this world although we try to organize it. And how ironic this is. I've tried to translate this in lines which supposed to go straight but have these interruptions every time. And the pattern which says HA HA HA is just referring to the world trying so hard to structure but in the meanwhile creating more and more chaos.
The real knitting, I've used the last pattern.

In Indesign Joeke, Thelma and I made a text, with the same HAHAHA as above, to silkscreen it with conductive ink. We've gone further on the concept of the world trying so hard to structure but failing every time. In Processing we developed a code, when you connect a Arduino with a speaker to the conductive ink silkscreen and someone touches it a sound will be heard. Depending on how strong the electricity of the body is.
Crafting data workshop

Content of my project
My interest for the project is about the identity of a person which transforms and develops through the technology of nowadays. Such as:
- handwriting, think of typ is the new writing
- emoticons, think of whats app..
- tone of voice, when you speak through a phone
- Facebook life, your life digital
- instagram life, a perfect digital life
- xbox kinect, your digital movements
etc etc
Mensen zien overal menselijke trekjes in of gezichten. Ze praten tegen hun dieren alsof het een mede mens is, overal projecteren wij een laagje menselijkheid op. Maar wat maakt dat wij een menselijke aanwezigheid ergens in voelen? En wordt dit beinvloed door technologie? Dat we de menselijke aanwezigheid gaan integreren zoals emoticons om dichterbij de echte mens te komen. Voorbeeld: een bandje met een stem die iets zegt in een donkere kamer afspelen. Mensen zullen geloven dat er iemand aanwezig is terwijl het alleen maar een apparaat is met een opgenomen stem. Of een handgeschreven brief die is ingescant of geplot is, geproduceerd door een machine maar toch van menselijke oorsprong. De kinect van de xbox, vertaald jou beweging naar een digitaal spel element waardoor je het spel kan spelen.
My question: How can technology create the illusion of a human presence?
