Use Arduino to control LED 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);
 }

Meeting online

Worm Picnic Box

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

Some inspirations :

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.

Pad for Broadcast 9, on this pad user who uses a pink and purple background attached a link to Interview with a Photocopier, it seemed like a stream-of-consciousness interview conversation, I wasn't quite able to understand. Interestingly, this interview comes from Datacide, which, in its introduction, emphasizes that it is not affiliated with any particular political group, reminds me of a picnic-related political event The Pan-European Picnic, it was a peaceful demonstration that was recognized as a link in the chain reaction that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

  • The “Gift Alchemy” of the Fava Bean
  • Alt Text as Poetry WorkbookBy Bojana Coklyat and Shannon Finnegan
  • THE SERVICEBERRY An Economy of Abundanceby Robin Wall Kimmerer.This article refers to a very simple economic system, the gift economy. A case in point, people can buy a wool scarf in a store, or receive a gift of a scarf knitted by someone close to them, and while they both physically function to keep them warm, the emotional connection they have with the item is quite different. I realized that this concept explains well my own preference for the picnic box metaphor. The community network created through the gift economy does not judge wealth by material possessions, nor does it artificially disrupt the status quo to increase the scarcity of certain goods. As Ife, the creator of Third Space, mentioned in a previous interview, she gained a sense of belonging at WORM. The gift attribute of this sense of belonging will naturally lead to feelings of gratitude, which in turn triggers positive reciprocity. If the apocalypse metaphor mentioned in the SPECIAL ISSUE is continued, exploring the gift economy in an apocalypse scenario (post-apocalypse picnic), I think I'll try to explore that direction.

Description of Gift Economy

Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition

接下来我们将深入探讨礼品经济的有趣概念，幸存者在混乱中发现韧性和联系。We're going to dive into the interesting concept of the gift economy, where survivors find resilience and connection amid chaos.

想象一个世界， 在剧变之后的宁静中，一种无声的联系出现了，通过自然档案将幸存者团结在一起。我们的故事发生在WORM，这是一个避难所，某种神秘的集合成为一个象征性的中心，将人类和自然元素编织在一起。 在这里，社会残骸拥抱情感而非物质，在废墟中建立共同的归属感。Imagine a world where, in the quiet aftermath of dramatic change, a silent connection emerges, bringing survivors together through the archives of nature. Our story takes place in WORM, a shelter where a certain mysterious collection becomes a symbolic centre that weaves together human and natural elements. Here, the social debris embraces the emotional rather than the physical, creating a shared sense of belonging amidst the ruins.

忘记财产； 礼品经济是关于无形财富的交易——故事、情感、记忆。 这是一个依靠共享经验而蓬勃发展的社区，建立超越过去由稀缺驱动的规范的纽带。 It's a community that thrives on shared experiences, building bonds that transcend the scarcity-driven norms of the past.

在《神圣经济学》一书中： 金钱、礼物和转型时代的社会》一书中指出："礼物凝结着一种神秘的领悟，即参与到比自己更伟大的事物中，而这种事物与自己并不分离。理性自利的公理改变了，因为自我已经扩大到包括他人的某些东西"。 In the book, Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition, it is stated： “Gifts cement the mystical realization of participation in something greater than oneself which, yet, is not separate from oneself. The axioms of rational self-interest change because the self has expanded to include something of the other.”

将某物视为礼物会改变我们与它的关系，尽管“物体”的物理构成保持不变。 一条从废墟中捡来的破旧围巾，可以为你遮挡刺骨的寒风，但一条用共同存在的丝线编织而成的围巾，却会给你包裹一种不一样的温暖——一种需要责任、与感恩共鸣的温暖。 想象一下，如果我们认识到我们拾取的一切都是集体残余物的礼物。 我们会怀着崇敬的心情对待这些碎片。Considering something as a gift changes our relationship with it, even though the physical composition of the "object" remains the same. A broken scarf from the rubble can shield you from the biting wind, but a scarf woven from the threads of a shared existence can wrap you in a different kind of warmth - a warmth that requires responsibility and resonates with gratitude. Imagine if we recognized that everything we pick up is a gift of collective remnants. We'd treat those scraps with reverence.

WORM 作为后启示录环境下的持续发展的社区，幸存者重新认识到自然的构建，旧的经济秩序被瓦解，他们不再关注商品的稀缺性和投资回报率。这种新型的经济秩序，被称为“礼物经济”，是一种基于互惠和感恩的社会模式。生存不仅仅是关于物质的获取，更是建立在与自然和他们彼此之间深刻联系的基础上。在这里，财富不再被衡量于拥有多少，而是以能够分享、给予和帮助他人的方式衡量。WORM is a sustaining community in a post-apocalyptic environment, where survivors are reawakening to the construction of nature, where the old economic order is being collapsed, and where they are no longer concerned with scarcity of commodities and rates of return on investment. This new economic order, known as the "gift economy," is a social model based on reciprocity and gratitude. Survival is not just about material acquisitions but is based on a deep connection with nature and with each other.

WEEK 12

Monday 4 December

connect Rain Receiver with ChopChop

The concept of Rain Receiver:In a post-apocalyptic world, natural archiving becomes a guide. Human beings follow the guidance and are connected together by natural archiving.

WORM, a place where survivors gather in the apocalyptic, the Rain Receiver becomes a symbolic nexus of human and natural elements within this community, where humans and nature no longer have the commodity attributes of a one-directional society, and where the emotional link becomes an important medium for constructing a sense of belonging.

Through the Rain Receiver, we analyze the language of nature by receiving the frequency of rain to generate sounds. As survivors touch the Rain Receiver, they become part of the ongoing narrative. The act of touching the receiver is an intimate gesture, akin to the act of giving. This interaction triggers a cascade of experiences – the sound of rain, snippets of stories, and stream-of-consciousness memories collected from the community.
