Welding
I've always wanted to learn how to weld so I can make larger / stronger constructions for installations.
Laser cutting
I wanted to play around with lasercutter so together with a housemate I built a big version of the classic wooden T-Rex model. By using the original drawings of the small model and scaling them, every little flaw in the design gets exaggerated, creating beautiful imperfections in its shape.
Step Sequencer
Together with Dave, I started working on a step sequencer. We wanted to make one without an Arduino or computer, using only 'regular' electronic components.

RFID Lock
Using keys is boring. A RFID card plus some hardware equals opening the front door without using keys. Or without hands for that matter: by using a large homemade antenna the cards can be read from up to 20 centimeters, so you can just walk up against the door to open it.
Poking Machine
Bart and I built a small gizmo that translates the meaningless 'poke' on Facebook into an actual physical poke. Using an Android smartphone and a small circuit we made, you can get poked where ever you go.

Camera Robot
During Stocks three day workshop we made a remote controlled driving robot with a moveable camera on top.
GPS Satellite Sound Spatialisation System (GPSSSSS)
Live position of GPS satellites on website > scraper > textfile > PD > XY coordinates > generative audio > 4 (or possible 8) speaker set up
Dave: scraping the data and reading it in PD
Jasper: making the incoming data fit within our spatialization model
Bart: using the data to generate audio
GIF2Punchcard
Physical archives are nice places to walk around. You can see what's there and grab the things you want to examine. With computers, more and more data is stored in a invisible but virtually endless space. By grabbing something that is completely from this virtual realm, the animated GIF and converting to physical objects, I sought a way to make the hidden visible.
