Adaptation of my haiku maker, I used one of my dreams to create new things I could have dreamed about.
These sentences look very plausible, in a dreamworld they could have happened, and most of all, they are still written the way I would write them down.
TK730 - eTextiles Workspace group (2011, at V2)
Typewriter that 'translates' what's written into knitted fabric.
The explanation on the V2 website says: "What happens when senses are cross-wired in the brain? Can data convey different meanings when interpreted as a purely visual object? What other ways of interpreting a single piece of data could there be? This is what the TK Series attempts to explore."
Which I think fits my dream descriptions very well, sometimes it happens that you cross-wire people, objects, places.
QR scarf.
DIY QR scarf, using an electronic knitting machine. You first have to program the machine, and then move the thread back and forth by moving the carriage from left to right and back .
I'm not so much interested in the QR code itself, but I like the idea of the two "technologies" meeting.
Heart Beats - Julie Legault (2011, at V2)
Time according to heartbeats. It reminds me of my own project (shown just below) where I wanted to explore the relativity of time, depending on what you are doing or how you are feeling
(the metal timer that is supposed to go in the holes is missing in this picture)
Chords to open up connections:
Chord keyset (left hand) by Doug Engelbart, 1968
And a newer version by Infogrip (right hand), the BAT.
3 buttons for the thumb and one for each of the other fingers.
The possible combinations of keypresses.
Fold Loud, JooYoun Paek, 2007
Through navigating through an origami piece one creates a melody.
