Teapots & To Draw a Name from a Hat
Through talking with MzTek I began to wonder what could become of a teapot if I embedded it with electronics- a common practice in object hacking. The object loses its context, its expressive ability, and acquires a fake identity. The first step into simulation… I created a fake yet ontologically vague teapot. At which point … Read more

soil + arduino + lights
Prototype for installation. Controlling DMX lights with Arduino depending on soil moisture. Sensing properties of the soil and plant. Like using a stethoscope. And translate into visual language. Next step
Moisture Sensor
lets see what next …

In the Renaissance, fabriques (follies) were structures, aimed at staging human interaction in the garden. Narrative was their main means and was born out of classical ideals. It … Read more

I am posting here a couple of images showing the hardware part of the system I designed. In the first pic you can see the mechanism which will be embedded inside the watering can. On the right, an RFID reader which recognises tags, and a button (which will be replaced by a tilt sensor) which … Read more
