"I’ve been messing around with electronics lately (after all, that’s what I’m studying 😛 ), and this is the result! A 32×8 LED Matrix controlled by a PIC18F2550. You can click in the pictures for full size! At the end of the post there is a video of the screen running."

"I developed my EEG visualising pendant for use in social situations. The pendant uses EEG (Electroencephalography) signals, which are gleaned from a NeuroSky MindWave Mobile headset."

"In 2005 I spent a few months playing around with a persistence of vision (POV) circuit for a bike wheel. It was my first foray into electronics and micro-controllers so, while it worked, it was a hack."

"This system is based on minimizing the differences in the input and output ‘languages’ used in various musical electronic formats. This means finding a way to allow free communication between logic, analog and eventually digital electronics. We are working to achieve this by finding a middle ground between these mediums where signal format and amplitude can be shared freely with minimal need for translators and adaptors."

"A polar plotter is a plotter with a rotating, extendable arm. Its characteristics differ greatly from those of a traditional plotter, which in most areas have a superior design. You could say the polar plotter is more portable or something, but mainly I made this one because it was more of a challenge."

"Bicycle LED POV hardware V1.0. The microcontroller unit (MCU) is the Atmel AT90USB162, 8 bits microcontroller with USB functionality. MCU will be able to determine the velocity of the bicycle wheel by reading impulses of the hall effect sensor. Knowing the velocity, MCU will read the images from the DataFlash memory using SPI bus, and in the correct timing will send them to the LED drivers using SPI bus, turning on and off the LEDs."

"The circuit works great for dropping coins, marbles, fruits and the like into a glass of water, but the microphone pre-amplifier is just not sensitive enough to detect a single drop of water falling from a height, unless you hold the microphone really close. Am still working on a more sensitive version that should be able to do that."

"’Capacities Life In The Emergent City’ captures the changes over time in the environment (city) and represents the changing life and complexity of space as an emergent artwork. Capacities goes beyond simple single user interaction to monitor and survey in real time the whole city and entirely represent the complexities of the real time city as a shifting morphing and complex system."

"Use Vaseline as a resist and a bath of salt and vinegar to etch away the copper from copper fabric to make circuits and sensors! Inspired by instructions from Rehmi Post and Kit Waal."

"The final idea was to embed a LED and copper coil assembly inside the titanium ring, illuminating it from under the stones when it was in close proximity to an induced alternating magnetic field. Autodesk Inventor helped me develop all of the dimensions and constraints for the design. Having some help, I was able to obtain her ring size and the rest of the measurements were based from there. "
