Prototyping Practice
October 2021
- In October 2021, I started using Arduino for the first time, during a workshop with Dennis de Bel. During a workshop, we started with a very basic unoficial arduino kit, a led, a motor, and a sensor. After making a few connections, we got to understand a bit how it works. It was from that point that I started getting more and more familiar with Arduino and work with ultrasonic sensors.
November 2021
- During the month of November, I started working with multiple sensors at the same time in order to map the position of an obstacle on a wider detection range.
December 2021
- In December, after being a lot more confortable with Arduino, I investigated the possibilty to transmit the values detected by the sensors and Arduino to P5.js, by making a serial communication (with P5.serialcontrol). By doing so, I could gain more freedom in terms of visual/sound feedbacks. However, the serial communication between Arduino and P5.js was in stand by for a very long time, because I didn't know (yet) how to send the values of more than one sensor.
- During the Window exhibition at Buitenboel, I created micro-installation composed of a LCD screen and sensor(s) inviting users/visitors to change the color of the screen and displayed messages by getting closer from the window.
February 2022
- In February, we created a small hybrid reality quest with Louisa. For this occasion, I created a mini-game with a sensor setup, allowing players to unlock a secret password by taking the good positions in space.
March 2022
- In March 2022, I started designing differents stages/steps for the installation. The installation requires once again the player to hold on on specific position in order to unlock new stages.
April 2022
- In April, I started designing the final interfaces for my installation. The idea was to refer to the differents contexts of surveillance and self-surveillance evoked in my thesis.
- Luckily, Joseph explained to me how to make the serial communication between Arduino and P5.Js with more than one sensor value, by splitting the data in many parts.
May 2022
- In May, I started considering to transiting from a small to a bigger screen for the grad show. I also updated the position of the different sensors.

Graduation Work: Count On Me
Count On Me
"Count On Me" is an interactive data collector that rewards your attention span and responsiveness in crypto-currency.
In order to maximize profits, you will need to accurately position yourself in the space and pay attention to the instructions. Each micro-task performed allows the visitor to get extra payouts and unlock different stages ranging from stock ticker interfaces, wellness applications, gambling games, captchas, streaming platforms, self-checkouts, eg. Once ready to leave, the visitor can convert its crypto-earnings into euros by refering to a randomly assigned conversion rate.
