• Kickoff Exercise: Analogue Data Collection 

  Look for sources of your personal body data in the real world. What traces do we leave behind that give us indications about our movements, vital signs or emotions? 
  Be aware of the data you're collecting without intention. Or are you currently collecting data intentionally? 

  Record videos or take photos to indicate and attempt to extract the data or reflect on it. 

  Represent that data in a performative way. 

  Presentation/performance: max 5 minutes 

  Individual work
  
  

• Weekly progress reviews
  
  
• Afternoon Workshop: Data, self & bodies
  
  
  • Presentation can be downloaded here:::  input_avt_15nov.pdf
  • Tutorials for scraping Instagram, scraping Tinder, using database from Google Location History in kml format in Processing, using Real Time location with GYROSC, and using socket.io with localhost.run to connect web sockets are here::: Tutorials_scraping_gps_and_more_avt.pdf
• Final Project and Presentation: Wearable designed from personal data
  

  Use Data-Collection, Generative Design Methods and Digital Fabrication to create a Data Driven Wearable (fashion item, prosthesis, orthesis, prosthetics, implant, etc).

  Questions to consider in your process:

  • What drives the design? (example: is it functional, speculation or critique)
  • Where could the data come from? (example: sensors)
  • How do you map the data to a geometry? (example: using a metaphor) 
  • Or is the form making process inspired by existing models? (example: fungus, cell division, mathematical geometry,…)
  • What is the fabrication process? 

  
  

  In groups of two or three students (or individual work per special request)
  
  

• Presentation Format: Exhibition of Experiments & Performance with Final Prototypes together with an oral presentation.

  Presentation on: 19.12.2019
  
  

• Documentation 
  
  
  •  A 'Journal' is developed by each student that reflects on learnings from the course. It should be in the form of an online blog (ie. WordPress, Tumblr or other):
    • The journal should be structured in a generally comprehensible manner
    • The lecture notes, including annotations, are stored
    • Notes, sketches for each lesson should be included as well
      
      
  • Final Documentation per usual guidelines: hi-res pics, PDF with text, video documentation (see Wiki)
