==Welding==
I've always wanted to learn how to weld so I can make larger / stronger constructions for installations.<br />

==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. <br /><br />

==Step Sequencer==
An experiment to try and make a step sequencer without immediately grabbing an Arduino / computer, but with plain electronics.
==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.<br /><br />

==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.
==Degrading Archive==
