Make Your Tech and Wear It Too
Stories from an e-textile tailor
In this talk i’d like to give an introduction to the materials, tools, skills and energies involved in making electronic textiles and tailoring wearable technology, which has been my practice for the past 13 years.
In this talk i’d like to give an introduction to the materials, tools, skills and energies involved in making electronic textiles and tailoring wearable technology, which has been my practice for the past 13 years.
I would like to demonstrate examples of textile sensors and actuators and explain the technical details involved in both the engineering and crafting of the open source designs which i publish on my website titled How To Get What You Want.
And i would like to walk through my process of tailoring wearable technology commissions that have been for artistic, prosthetic and research purposes.
I have many photos and videos to show, not only of the finished works but also of the often messy struggle it takes to get things to work. I can also bring live demonstrations of some of the designs.

In den letzten 2 Jahren habe ich mich in meiner künstlerischen Arbeit mit der Computerherstellung in der DDR beschäftigt. Technikproduktion in der DDR war durch Planwirtschaft und dem COCOM-Hochtechnologieembargo besonderen Bedingungen unterworfen. Entlang der künstlerischen Ausseinandersetzung möchte ich in dem Vortrag ein Bild über Ostdeutsche Computertechnologie nachzeichnen.

The Borderland is a participatory art event in Denmark with 3210 co-creators. Over the last three years, we have created online tools to keep participation and co-creation high as the event has tripled in size in only three years. This seminar is about the design philosophy behind these tools, drawing parallels to the ancient silk road. These tools have since been spread to at least five other events around the world.

Here we are, a new generation. Actually not only that, we are moving forward in evolution. The Antropocene is screaming for action, but - „Yeah right, I know... we‘re working on it!“ she told me. Does Sophia really know? Do I care? 42?

Are you curious about making your own video game? Game jams are a brilliant opportunity to try that, and a fun challenge for interdisciplinary teams of all skill levels! They're basically hackathons, but for video games - you're given a certain theme, and are encouraged to make a game around that in two or three days. In this talk, I want to empower and inspire you to try that yourself! When I first joined in the large, international game jam "Ludum Dare" in 2016, I found it a very rewarding ...
