Day 7: (Wed Feb 9, Week 4) Research Study Part A

Notes for 2022-02-09.

New Assignments

1. New assignment, due before next class: Part B: Means and Methods.

Agenda

1. Review of research study part A resuls.

   • simulated ecosystem

   • typography (soft letterforms, 2D to 3D)

   • simulated organs (ref1, ref2) (tactile experience, questions about bodily autonomy)

   • color-changing garment element (visual experience)

   • legged locomotion (tactile experience, alien body)

   • aquarium (underwater ensemble interaction, predator/prey)

   • rabbit sex object (rabbit performance for camera)

   • thermal reactive plant

   • simulated organ (physically reactive, personal internal experience)

   • jellyfish (see Jono Sanders) (choreographed performance)

2. Discussion.
   
   

3. Mid-class break.
   
   

4. Question: what’s the right first test?

5. Discuss assignment.

6. Breakouts: pick one of the underlying design problems, break it down into every possible decision.

   1. group 1

      • typography (soft letterforms, 2D to 3D)

      • color-changing garment element (visual experience)

   2. group 2

      • legged locomotion (tactile experience, alien body)

      • rabbit sex object (rabbit performance for camera)

   3. group 3

      • simulated organs (ref1, ref2) (tactile experience, questions about bodily autonomy)

      • simulated organ (physically reactive, personal internal experience)

   4. group 4

7. Quick survey: CAD skills?

8. Practical: prototyping needs? See notes on Silicone Rubber and Casting Equipment.
