I used to use Apple pages to keep a record of what I learned, but they were always a bit of a mess, so I'm going to start using a Wiki. hopefully, it will help me improve the situation.

WEEK 8

Friday 10 November

Use Arduino to control LED lights

• Getting Started with Arduino & Lights

use loop to make mini traffic lights:

 int greenLed = 13;
 int yellowLed = 12;
 int redLed = 11;
 void setup() {
   // put your setup code here, to run once:
   pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //green 
   pinMode(12, OUTPUT); //yellow
   pinMode(11,OUTPUT); // red
 }
 void loop() {
   // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
   //turn green light on for 0.5 seconds
   digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
   delay(500);
   //turn off green light and turn yellow light on for 0.5 second
   digitalWrite(13,LOW);
   digitalWrite(12,HIGH);
   delay(500);
   // turn yellow off anf turn red on for 0.5 seconds
   digitalWrite(12,LOW);
   digitalWrite(11,HIGH);
   delay(500);
   digitalWrite(11,LOW);
 }

WEEK 9

Monday 13 November

Meeting online

• Pad for the meeting
• upload the metaphor

Worm Picnic Box

Continue to explore the thoughts about Worm Picnic, the original idea comes from Monday 6th November installation group

Some inspirations :

• A Chinese Restaurant Website with a nostalgic vibe：Málà Project
• An audio project ideal for meditation：Talk With Urban Landscapes
• A sleek modern chat UI :DMs
• Sound Effects Library Chinese websiteComprehensive material

The morning online meeting came up with an interesting proposal to select a metaphor of interest and interview it. Next, I'll imagine a picnic box that serves as a metaphor for WORM a non-commercial underground radio station, combined with some of the results of the group discussion, to answer the questions.

Interviewer:How do you define yourself?
Picnic Box:Oh, darling, I'm not just a box; I'm a symphony of joy, a curated collection of delightful moments.
Interviewer:How were you born?
Picnic Box:Ah, my origin story is as whimsical as a wandering plastic bag on a windy day. Picture this: a group of free-spirited souls, consulting the random dance of clouds instead of weather apps. They meet in the serendipity of social apps, bringing delectable creations to share. And voila, I was born, a delicious amalgamation of their creativity and a touch of Flashes of Oven Wisdom
Interviewer:What are you holding?
Picnic Box:Well, Inside my cozy space, I've got a picnic mat that's not your everyday kind. It's like a magical map revealing the coolest secrets of this place. You can stroll around following it, and guess what? Find some treasures along the way.And guess what else?I've got a deck of cards, but these aren't for playing poker or building houses of cards. Nope, these cards are like mysterious pieces with some serious vibes.They're linked to protocols, which are like secret rules or codes. Now, I'm not exactly sure what these rules are about; I'm just a box, not a code-cracking expert. Of course, there are more other things, but time is limited, so that's all for now.
Interviewer:Where do you usually meet?
Picnic Box:Maybe we need a tangible, realistic place, and maybe we don't. Maybe we're under a lawn, maybe it's a lawn under a tree, or a lawn under a tree that's blooming cherry blossoms, and we're in a communal place for a communal activity, and we've turned that communal place briefly, temporarily, into a private space that has no boundaries.
Interviewer:What are you doing?
Picnic Box:Oh, you've walked right into our little joy party! We gather, we laugh, we listen, we share, we drink hot ginger tea, we eat home-made sandwiches. We listen to the bubbling sound of fish in a river flowing from far away. We let out a laugh as we hear an ancient joke that has been roaming the internet for 20 years. We're not exactly on a mission or anything serious; we're just here, in this moment, in this place, doing whatever feels right.
Interviewer:Can other people join?
Picnic Box:Absolutely! We're like an open invitation to immersion matter who are you there's always room on our magical picnic mat. Feel free to hop on in and add your own splash of anything to the mix!
Interviewer:What happens when the picnic box is closed?
Picnic Box:Probably a lot of junk.When the box is closed. A short time of wandering away was over. Each one that leaves. Some might be content, others a tad bewildered, not entirely sure what just happened, and that's perfectly okay. What they do know is that they've collected something special—a handful of laughter, the taste of ginger tea, the echo of an ancient joke. It's a piece of a dream, a little rough around the edges, people might take this piece of subtle moments into some future.
