Eyebeam Summer School: Hardware Hacking for Interaction

Justin Downs and Rucyl Mills, artists presenting their work in the exhibition Double Take will discuss interaction and how they made their project Watch What You Are. Eyebeam R&D Openlab fellow Ayah Bdier will present her newest project littleBits and discuss open source electronics. New Eyebeam resident artist Hans Christoph-Steiner will demonstrate his work which involves recycling old devices like iPods, PDAs, and mobile phones into new interactive gadgets: two old iPods mounted flat in a custom mount makes a set of mini-turntables, an old wifi router attached to a solar panel becomes a free telephone system to serve a small community, a PDA built into a guitar body makes a touchscreen guitar.   Projects: littleBits People: Ayah Bdeir, Hans Christoph-Steiner, Justin Downs, Rucyl Mills Research: Open Lab Tags: Double Take
