  {mk} 

Kick-Off exercise

• Analogue Data Collection 

***In prep for next week, start collecting materials (or growing them)***

Discussion in groups - Part II: From ideation to in-depth concept

• What embodied interaction experience do you want to create?
• What inspires it? (material, relation, environment, data, topic...)
• What drives the design? (what role does it play, what does it provoke?)
• What data makes sense to use? 
• What metaphor could be relevant?

  • Demo & assignment, 3D creations, .obj export {dw}

Group study

Material workshop day {jb, mk}
- bring the materials you have collected and create interfaces that take into account their properties and affordances

11.00 Guest Lecture:
Lucy Dukes 

Group study

• Data mapping & fabrication
  
  

  • Input/Exercise: What meaning do you give to the data? What metaphors do you use for mapping? How to interact with machines and materials {jb}
    
    
  • Decide your group (4-5 people)

10.00 Class presentation: First prototypes and research directions (8mn/group)

Initial prototype (show actual work) and Answer the questions we asked in the groups discussion: 

• From your design interest/wish, reflect on what drives it: data, material, fabrication technique, function, critique, curiosity, inspiration..?
• what is the data you will use and how do you collect it? (api, sensor, live, dataset, personal, collective etc…)
• how will you map it?
• how would you like to fabricate it? (technology used, materials used…)
• which interface for which material?
• what is the  larger socio-eco-political context of the material you are using?
• what story are you telling?
