Last weeks we had a great time working hard on the paper we wrote about the collaboration in a multidisciplinary team. All team members worked hard on the next prototype of the Silence Suit and we made great steps to realize it. Collaboration Paper But first, I want to tell you more about the paper […]

printing and constructing
The worlds thickest block calendar is finished. Last week was spend on printing the 2865 pages, perforating them and constructing the calendar. The printing turned out to be more of a challenge then expected. The inner peace visualisation consists of several layers of circles with varying transparency. Printing those pages resulted in extra thick lines […]
calendar perforation
Being able to tear of pages is an important part of the calendar. So I’ve been investigating the possibilities. At first I hoped the printer, Tiggelman, would just do it for me. Alas their perforation turned out to be too vulnerable. The nice people at St Joost art academy and office supplies Benoist gave me […]
test prints
Today I went to make test prints and the results look very promising. The people at Tiggelman repro were very helpful. They suggested I use a paper called Reviva which has a nice newspaper look. The lines I use in my design are only 0.4 pixels thick and the lighter ones were barely visible when […]
virtual to paper
I managed to convert the micro-diary to PDF output. It’s quite moving to see my virtual diary which has spend almost eight years in a database printed on paper. There’s is no layout yet, that will follow later. I have to make sure the it is technically feasible and then I can start tweaking the […]
hardware progress
I’ve been working with plastic and paper to create different device prototypes. I was very happy with look of the plastic prototype. I want the design to be light: The part I like most is where I stitched the plastic together with nylon thread: But when I did 30 minutes of meditation wearing the device […]
portrait as data
During my month of muteness I record a minute long video everyday around 12 o’ clock. I hope that my face will tell the story of what it is like not to speak for a month. I’ve looked at some footage and want to make three interaction modes with the data: 1) all films playing […]
Drawing breath 2nd version
I’ve improved the drawing ‘machine’ using velcro to make the position of the brush more flexible. I’ve used toilet paper but this certainly doesn’t have the refinement of rice paper. It just looks like used toilet paper whilst the rice paper tests look like drawings. The roll of paper is three minutes of breathing, btw. […]
First breath drawing
Nice first drawing on rice paper. The kind of paper used is very important for the result. I must see if I can find a narrow roll of rice paper. Or just use toilet paper?
dripping ink
First analogue experiments of making time representation of time driven by breathing. See the full gallery on Posterous
