In Summer Nights, I looked for Insects – showcase
Almost ¾ of all organisms on our planet are insects. Entomology is the branch of zoology that deals with the most species-rich group of living beings, the insects. Due to their small size, insects cannot be identified alive, they have to be collected and prepared. The project “In Summer Nights, I looked for Insects – Showcase” deals with the research question of entomology based on technological creatures, acoustic circuits in the form of insects.

bell-y
Panzano, a district of the city of Monfalcone, is located in the north-east of Italy a few kilometers away from Trieste. Panzano was created in the 1920s as a housing solution for the workers of the local shipyard. The urban project included 180 houses, from a hotel for unmarried workers to houses for families, until a few villas for the managers of the company. At lunchtime, due to the proximity of the housing system, the workers used to rush home on their bicycles. Bell-y is a sound object that recalls the particular sound of this daily occurrence, which was a proper sound wave that could be heard through the whole district. At one o’clock, the bicycle bells ring, marking the time of the worker’s lunch break. The project was developed in the framework of an artistic residence in Panzano, which was organized by Kallipolis for the project LaRU. Documentation

(L)eavesdrop
FM sender, FM receivers, custom made antennas Camouflaged antennas are built to hide the presence of the communication infrastructure in natural structures that expose more than what they conceal. (L)eavesdrop imitates its camouflaged versions and is built in the three most popular forms. Due to the not efficient design, interference noises are generated and forwarded to the next antenna.

In summer nights, I looked for insects
The project consists of the production of small sound-generating objects realized as three-dimensional, insect-shaped electronic circuits. Once installed in a room, the insects create together a soundscape of tiny noises that change over time according to the light conditions and the presence of human beings. Create an insect that sings to the sun

Kurzschluss II
Human life involves making both easy and difficult decisions, including ones that affect the life of an individual or an entire community. Labyrinths can serve as a metaphor for human existence. Their intertwined path leads to the center, which represents individual successes and goals, after making a number of sharp turns. In comparison to life decisions, electricity also tries to find a way to get through a circuit, whereby it always selects the shortest path. In the project Kurzschluss II, two electronic decision-making circuits are constructed in the shape of labyrinths finding together.

Acidable
The Acidable is an interactive turntable and orange squeezer at the same time. Based on the familiar movement of manually squeezing a citrus fruit, the interaction with the Acidable is brought to a new level of playful experience. Depending on the PH value of the freshly pressed citrus juice the machine creates a rhythm, as a result of turning the oranges the sound will be modified.

Don’t hide me
The trend of making new technologies and devices smaller and thinner led almost the included electronics disappear. Not even that no one knows which electronic is in there, also not so many users are aware how beautiful electronic is. The project Don’t hide me! shows the beauty of working circuits. The aesthetically casino live arranged electronic parts are simple oscillators which are going to be part of a big interactive circuit frame.

Made with Love
Knitting used to imply a romantic image. With the act of knitting we followed our natural instincts, making warm and comfortable things for those we love. Industrialization, knitting machines, increasing wool price and feminist attitudes worked together to push knitting into an unrespectable hobby. Can we bring back the romantic image into machine knitting?

Oranges-Untitled
Eating and culinary practice is common to all humankind and it is based on modification of the environment to make it more edible and easier to eat. Trade development enabled cuisine to utelise ingredients other than those strictly local for centuries, but the food supply is increasingly less local. The manual production of the food we consume was long ago replaced by the industrialization. In the age of information overload we know less and less how the food which nourishes us is produced and where it comes from. Recipes, techniques and knowledge are being forgotten, because they don’t match with accelerated way of life. We rather choose fast food solutions than traditional preparation of our food, which is apart of improving the flavor qualities, also transmiting an emotional charge.
