Pulsu(m) Plantae is a project that empirically analyzes which are the mechanisms that plants use to communicate and also how their own biological processes are a manifestation of communication, seemingly intangible to our senses.

The project involves the design of an audible prosthesis, based on the biofeedback principle, a technique that focuses on obtaining various physiological functions data of an organic body, using instruments to obtain information of the cycles and operation of these living systems. The prostheses * transduce biofeedback obtained readings in a sound synthesis process, thereby producing an abstract voice for plants.

fraAngelico is open-source and most hackable synthesizer ever and that is also why we call it true digital!

fraAngelico 8-bit PWM digital synth is also unique by the means of its sound generation.

DremelFuge - A One-Piece Centrifuge for Rotary Tools by cathalgarvey - Thingiverse:

DremelFuge is a printable rotor for centrifuging standard microcentrifuge tubes and miniprep columns. Compared to the cost of a new centrifuge (priced by a fellow Thingiversian at $500 minimum on Froogle), a Dremelfuge is incredibly cheap. It can be used for DIYbio ( diybio.org ) or for some culinary uses. It requires industry standard 1.5ml/2ml Eppendorf/Microcentrifuge tubes.

DIY microscopy - Hackteria:

In short, a small hack to the optics of a standard webcam with an adjustable focus-lens, allows to create video data, with a magnification of around 100 to 400x (depending on the model) at a working distance of a few mm. The highest magnifications can be achieved by inverting (putting upside down) the lens. Addition of good lighting by the use of leds allows to create images using a bright-field method (shine through the stuff) or dark field method (look at the reflections and scattering).

El Arma Sonora Telemática es una herramienta para realizar manifestaciones en el espacio físico a través de las redes sociales.

Encontramos una estructura metálica de 4 x 6 mts ubicada frente al Campo Marte, un campo militar que encierra historias de un pasado represivo que se ha ido olvidando poco a poco.

Intervenimos la estructura con 64 tubos galvanizados conectados a un motor. Este mecanismo es activado a distancia cada vez que alguien escribe #BANGCampoMarte en Twitter. Esta es el Arma Sonora Telemática.

Un arma es un dispositivo que amplía la dirección y la magnitud de una fuerza.
Nosotros queremos amplificar un cuestionamiento colectivo sobre el rol de la violencia en la historia reciente de México.

El A.S.T. puede ser activada y fácilmente replicada por personas en otros lugares del mundo. Te invitamos a participar de este ejercicio de manifestación virtual. También ponemos a tu disposición todo el manual de construcción y código.

Fun little experiment by the InteractiveLab group utilising a pair of iPhones, four servos controlled by Processing which receives openCVCIDetector face detection information via OSC from a custom iPhone app created in openFrameworks using iOS5 SDK. In other words, 2 iPhones observe and follow the face of the viewer.

Piccolo is a pocket-sized stand-alone CNC platform. For under $70, you will be able to assemble your personal Arduino-compatible kit for tinkering, and playing with basic CNC output. Be it plotting a quick graffiti, printing a one-off business card on the fly, or multiple Piccolos working together to create a large mural, this kit provides a platform for experimenting with 2D or 3D digital fabrication at a small scale.

libpd

Mon, 19 Mar 2012 09:46:55 -0400

libpd:

libpd is Pure Data. It is not a fork of Pure Data, not a different flavor of Pure Data. It is simply a way of using Pd in a new way that can be more convenient and allows compatibility with mobile app development, game development, embedding into sophisticated 3D visualization tools, and lots of other applications. As such, it adds to Pd, without taking away anything from Pd Vanilla’s DSP core. It has the same license as Pd, too. It is every bit as free and open source as Pd. As such, the project is hugely indebted to the entire Pd community, and to Pd’s original creator, Miller Puckette. Those of us working with libpd have done so because we’re excited to see Pd patches running in more places than ever before, doing things they’ve never done before, and we trust you’re just getting started

I Dream of Wires

I DREAM OF WIRES: THE MODULAR SYNTHESIZER DOCUMENTARY is a documentary film about the history and resurgence of modular synthesizers. The film, directed by Robert Fantinatto, is currently in production. Jason Amm (aka Ghostly International recording artist SOLVENT) is serving as producer for the film, and is also composing the original soundtrack, as heard throughout the trailer.

I DREAM OF WIRES will take you on a journey into the obscure, but highly influential world of modular synthesizers. Learn how it revolutionized music from the pioneers that were there, why it quickly became obsolete, and how it has become all the rage again. Our aim is to create a definitive document on the modular synthesizer revival, a 21st century phenomena that continues to mutate and grow, surely one of the most exciting areas of contemporary electronic music design and creation.

I DREAM OF WIRES started off as a modest exploration of the passion and obsession of a few designers, manufacturers, collectors and musicians, but interest in the film has convinced us that there is a demand for a comprehensive documentary that will explore, both geographically and thematically, the wide ranging influence of the modular synthesizer.

Ubersonic de Leslie Garcia _ (shameless self promotion)

Über Sonic son una serie de piezas open-hardware que utilizan señales residuales de radio frecuencia para producir procesos de síntesis de sonido. Se trata de esculturas sonoras capaces de comunicarse como una red, utilizando información física proveniente de distintos sensores.

Este proyecto busca generar un proceso de sonificación a partir de información imperceptibles a nuestros sentidos, por medio de dispositivos para interactuar con formas intangibles.

Soundmachines

The Product, a Berlin-based design studio with a focus on objects, space and interaction, was commissioned by Volkswagen to develop a set of visuals for an interactive musical performance for the premiere of the New Beetle at the 2011 IAA motor show (September 15-25, 2011, Frankfurt am Main). What the client got instead was Soundmachines – a custom-built instrument for performing electronic music by DJing visual patterns on record-sized discs. Honk for ingenuity!

Lumibots:

What looks like a time-lapse recording of bioluminescent critters roaming the deep sea floor is in fact a swarm of 9 autonomous UV light emitting robots inhabiting a 1 x 2 meter phosphorescent surface. Created by Mey Lean Kronemann, a Berlin-based media artist with an interest in robotics, these lumiBots (2010-2011) tirelessly trace the fading trails of their peers. An endless pursuit that, much like a computational drawing machine, generates glowing patterns of visual complexity out of a simple system.
