Command lines & Raspberry Pis

  • First time ever working with command lines, shell scripts and the Raspberry Pi.
  • First bash script (using python scripts, ffmpeg, melt, spell and speak)
  • Experiment with interaction in scripts
espeak -w audio.wav -p 70 "I am dead inside"

sox audio.wav audio2.wav speed 0.7

sox audio2.wav -b 8 -e unsigned-integer -c 1 -r 4000 -t raw rawfile

rm frame*.jpg

python lip-sync.py

ffmpeg -r 10 -i frame%09d.jpg -i audio2.wav -y mymovie1.mp4
espeak "Hi, What is your name?"
echo "What is your name?"
read content

espeak -z "Nice to meet you"
echo $content | espeak 

espeak  "What’s your favorite color?"
echo "What’s your favorite color"
read content

espeak -z "Oh my god. I love the color"
echo $content | espeak

  • Better understanding of networks, servers & programming languages, setting up public websites on the Pi.
  • How to use Git repositories.

Wiki-wiki

  • Learnt how to use media-wiki as a writing and reading platform
  • Opportunities & challenges in using Semantic Media wiki: how the use of metadata, properties, values and forms can be useful in creating meaning, but also limiting in other ways
  • Wiki skinning with Manetta, my background in web design was helpful in this
  • Pipelines that use wikis as a source / step / destination

Going forward

  • Would love to push my technical skills in the next trimester. This means more coding, python, publishing on different servers, research on networks, but also experiments with hardware.
  • Algorithmic curation & generative content is a growing interest for me
  • Also: In a publication, where is the border between reader & writer? Wikis are all about collaborative content; they are also 'platforms with attitudes'. How does software influence behaviour? Politics of 'seamlessness'?
  • In terms of book scanners > to control the rules and not the output
