Jup, this week has been all about getting that board, those wires and that code to work out. Weird though, I always thought code was not for me, ever since those early, fumbling steps in processing. But now, the story is something completely different, like visiting an old foe and finding him to be like the long lost brother. No, but seriously, code is much better the second time around, and when you actually link it to something physically it might in fact be something I'll be able to do in the end. So, Watz, I hereby come crawling back to the cross...
... and there´s a reason for it: I worked on making AHO´s representation at Gave&Interiørmessa@Lillestrøm to display our projects from the autumn course 2008 at AHO, Teknoform. It took up a lot of time and energy so I´m sorry for the pause in posts those days.

Photobooth
Einar and Timo talked about a project from Picnic´07 called the Photobooth. I think it´s great with that link between the individual tag, the prosess of taking pictures in a very open photo booth and in the end finding them on flickr.

Sniff
A rfid project for kids with impaired vision. Not the first time I have had it presented to me, but I realized something new this time: the physical-ness of the interaction is what really appeals to me with this project. Hide-tech and great response is just fantastic when it works as well as it does in this one.

Film
A system for creating, storing, going about your ideas. A collaboration with nfi (norsk film institutt). A good example of the blog as a tool creative prosesses. Note to myself: Need to blog-a-lot in the fututre.
Their project manifestation (interaction piece) of this film stuff became a diploma project based on the theme "interactive opplevelser på filmmuseet" which is a kind of holding-hands-through-boxes-passing-on-films project
