"milky" is a high-risk game in which participants are responsible for protecting other organisms' health and well-being. in order to succeed, participants must catch ordinary tap water in their mouths →

A  zoetrope is an early tool used to animate a series of images by affecting the viewers persistence of vision. This example represents a simple electronic version using a push button and an Arduino to →

Animate Project by P. A. Duquette & Z. Bacchus This installation is comprised of a loose pile of autumn leaves, visible within a dimly lit area (in this case a corner space in an elevator lobby). →

Inspired by Brion Gysin and Ian Sommerville's DreamMachine (1961) we created a light show/sculpture that can be used by anyone even without any programming, electronics knowledge that runs on three 9V →

Animating small household appliances using solid-state relays Objective: Work with sounds emitted from electronic devices found around the home. Explore the effect these incidental sounds have on one’s →

For our project, we had in mind to construct a dress which could display information about women's conditions throughout history. The way we decided to approach it was to have a layer inside the dress →

Play-Doh makes an excellent material for building a playful and tactile switch. Below are a couple switch examples that take advantage of the compounds tactile and manipulative nature. Squish(video): →

I could not test my first ideas for the switch (balloons and static) because of the rainy weather and so I had to improvise the night before the class with what I had.  A straw, a power source, the LEDs →

A switch an be made using a popsicle and a comparator where the pop serves as a resistor and as it melts, its resistance drops, triggering a change of state in the comparator. This is made possible by →

I set out to create a circuit that would react differently to different kinds of food. I chose a representative of the vegetable food group (broccoli / potato) and a representative of the animal food group →

I am interested in different manners of retelling the ordinary. For this assignment I wanted to record repetitive gestures carried out in the kitchen by using found objects as conductive materials to create →

Human Electromagnetic Field Sensing With Arduino The Human EMF Sensor Switch includes use of an Arduino Diecimila microcontroller, a 10M ohm resister, a 9v battery, a red LED, allegator clips, and some →

Pure water is an insulator. It is the added elements in water that make it conductor. For example adding salt converts water from insulator to conductor. Saline solution is made up of Sodium Chloride (salt) →
