SENSORS AND SENSITIVITY
Start making a sensor, fabric waving with conductive dreath. Waving in this structure makes a honeycomb, it gives hight to the fabric to make a press sensor.
a honycomb it's some natural material make's by nature. The sensor with the conductive thread make's from some humen's artifact.
behavioural stretching
Jeanine and Tharim first experions with franch knitting, Tim what wat minder plazant er mee, because it was his evil eye workshop.
First exampels, a bonsing sensor in ardino and woven threat with conductive threat to ardino
We programmed the arduino so that it translated the serial data to frequencies. For example, when the cord is in resting position the arduino monitor would read 520 and when we pull the string it would read 960. We would map the arduino to output a frequency of 0hz when it reads 520 and 1000hz when it reads 960.
The serial data received from the arduino could be used in many ways. We also experimented with other sounds and samples by connecting the serial port (where the arduino was attached to) to Ableton live. The sensor could trigger all sorts of instruments, effects, and automation. We didn’t use this way of working in the end because you always had to be near a computer to use the sensor.

For our presentation, we wanted to connect the result of pulling the string to the action that was needed to pull the string. The group of third-year students had made some videos that inspired us. In their video, they exaggerated the movement the body makes while stretching.
It gets interesting when you can make people do stuff without necessary commanding them to. We wanted to make people stretch without them being aware that that was our purpose. To achieve this we placed several chords on different heights in the staircase. By curiosity or simply because they were confronted with a strange object in the -semi-public space people would pull or touch -accidentally- the cord. When noticing there was a sound coming out of it, they would reach higher and higher for the other cords.
You could say that in the end the artifact was not only the cord, but the people stretching to pull the cord.
NEXT
On numerous occasions, we discussed how we could place this cord in our everyday life. The cord is strange, yet pulling it and hearing the sound feels so familiar and normal at the same time. We wanted to give this cord in some way a place in daily life.
Inspiration for exeqution was the well known movie: The Phantom of Liberty
End Result
behavioural stretching mystery is it nature or reality ? The stretch sensor placed in a human setting where it is normal to do it in your (social) ritual.

Reconstructed Memories Workshop
Artificial Intelligence
Floor of Ceiling?
Artificial Intelligence is most of the time based on face recognition algorithm's. They work with familiar faces from celebrities and animals. this is because the libery's that the computer work with abasic training programs with image that you can find online. most of the time is this celebrities and animals.
Floor of Ceiling is based on not the usual libery's that you can find about racongition. it's a space and the Artificial Intelligence can learn it wrong. we chiche to do this to play with the Artificial Intelligence of the computer themself. computers can't be angry about the fact that we give the wrong input.
So we try this also at google image and google image make from the ceilng a floor and from the floor a ceiling. it it's a very small exampel but it was a kind of funny because it is even hard for human beinig to recanze also the floor of ceiling. But human beiging have some persepion what is good or wrong.
Unknowing Painting
Project “Unknowing Painting“ comments on the process of memory, it investigates the borders between human and artificial memory through the act of forgetting. Forgetting is a creative activity that, through transformation and procedural loss of data, continuously animates our inner life and identity definition. To comment this human condition we set a paper loop through an array of printers, a mechanical analogy for the stream of memory creation. An image, an untitled painting of an old man by an unknown artist, is initially fed to the system, then the printed rendition is scanned and sent to the printers to begin a new cycle. As we travel through the cycles, as we travel through past memories, we start encounter variations and loss of data, the face become distorted and slowly the story and emotions summoned by its shape change and get lost in the growing feedback
