BIY™ (Believe it Yourself) – Real-fictional belief-based computing kits by Automato

Category Arduino Members Members Featured Objects Python Scripts People Posted on:

Created by Shanghai based design studio automato.farm, 'BIY™ - Believe it Yourself' is a series of real-fictional belief-based computing kits to make and tinker with vernacular logics and superstitions. The team worked with experts in fortune telling from Italy, geomancy from China and numerology from India to translate their knowledge and beliefs into three separate kits – BIY.SEE, BIY.MOVE and BIY.HEAR. They invite users to tinker with cameras that can see luck*, microphones that interpret your destiny*, and compasses that can point you to harmony and balance*.
