| |
| What am I truly interested in?
| |
|
| |
| re-using low (obsolete) tech implementation in new tech
| |
| * work together (compliment or critiques)
| |
| * low-tech & high-tech (remixing / reintroducing)
| |
| * how we can use it within today's frameworks?
| |
| * low tech: what we can open up and understand (?)
| |
|
| |
| Let us think otherwise (or reflect ) on how we use technology today and how it affects us

| thoughts & notes:
| |
| * I am more interested in re-use instead of hacking: amateur, don't have to be an expert electronics (a matter of accessibility)
| |
| * what can yo do with it? how to approach it in a different way that was intended?
| |
| * broken tape simulator? LAME!!!!
