too much in the information net / bag / chimney
i like chimneys.
today we are reviewing everyone's ideas for different applications of digital switches. the basis of the assignment is to push us to think about the most rich applications of the simplest electronic communication. binary states. i thought up a few that are all sort of so so.
- scissors with pennys attached to the ends so that you would make a connection everytime you cut something.
- spitting buttons into a pan with wires attached to them. this would generate a somewhat aleatoric effect because the connectino between the button and the wire is intermittent.
- putting a bunch of metallic tape in meaningful patterns on the wall or something and having a metal mitten that you could sort of rub over the wall. i guess this would count as multiple switches. i feel like alot of other people delved deeper conceptually and came up with alot of fruitful stuff.
if you have any questions about the application of art and technology you should watch this.
no but really. i need to figure out a way to filter all this stuff and properly boil the information around me. it's sort of overloading.
really it would be best if i could have a blog that was half physical so i could write in it. i feel like i transfer alot of information between places. but i suppose that's good for retention.
