Poetic Router – A tribute to the age of network awareness

Author Filip VisnjicCategory Arduino MembersPosted on: People

Created by Saurabh Datta (automato), Poetic Router is a project that investigates the potential of the everyday manufactured IoT platforms beyond what is commonly discussed. Whereas most concerns of IoT are focused on security since every "Chip-‘ed" device is hackable and can be jacked and modded remotely. Poetic Router explores network transmission as a way to generate poetry by scraping the data found on the server links.

In a house, a router is potentially a small micro-computer - compiled with a, sometimes closed, set of firmware in an operating system. At both hardware and software level it is optimised to do specific tasks of networking and routing internet traffic and thus at a decision level of design, it was optimised for just those tasks. But given an access and procedural set, it is capable of doing similar tasks as a single chip computer. From one perspective these attributes can be and recent history forsakes, has been compromised. In certain cases the vulnerabilities has been used to loop back some information from and to the users. These all has been done through closed firmware applications on existing manufactured pieces of software and hardware packages.

Artificial Arcadia – Measured and adjustable landscapes

Created by Fragmentin in collaboration with KOSMOS architects, ‘Artificial Arcadia’ is an interactive installation that creates a performative scenographic landscape for visitors to explore and calls them to consider how contemporary landscape entangles natural, artificial and digital realms.

Particle Flow – Kinetic particle study by NEOANALOG

Created by digital design studio NEOANALOG , “Particle Flow” is a physical installation comprised of granules driven by gravity and topography forming an analogue particle system. A moving slanted plane and a grid of motorized stamps control the elements to form infinite variations of behaviours and patterns.

Small, Programmable, Wearable and Cheap – Enjoying the ATTiny85 Tutorial

Wouldn’t it would be nice to have something small, programmable, cheap, and power efficient that could do *some* of what an Arduino can do and had the same easy tools to use with it? Well there is: the ATTiny85!

The Weather Followers – Bringing serendipity to the digital life

Created by David Colombini, The Weather Followers is a commentary on ‘smart’ applications and predictive, comfortable digital routines. Instead of relying on ‘accurate’ data, intangible algorithms and hidden lines of code-driven lifestyles, this device brings serendipity to your digital life, using constantly evolving weather data recorded by four weather instruments.
