Welding
I've always wanted to learn how to weld, so I could make larger and stronger constructions for installations. This will be an ongoing proces as I need more practice.
Laser cutting
I wanted to play around with a lasercutter so together with one of my housemates 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 blown up, 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.
More info: StepSeq+Synth
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.
One of the interesting things to find out was how to make the circuit secure: you don't want the door to open when the circuit suddenly resets.
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 platform 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 sending it to PD
Jasper: translating the incoming data to a spatialization model we came up with
Bart: using the data to generate tones based on the satellites altitude and distance from our own location
All the components are there, the next step will be to put everything together in one big patch.
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.
