• Analogue Data Collection 

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

Presentation of Kick-off exercise (2min/student) 

Discussion in groups - Part III: 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?

Each group proposes an experiment

9.30
Data & Materials: first ideas/mentorings

• 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}
  
  
• Quick Catch-up per group/first mentorings {jb}

Group study

Atelier Walk-through {jr}

9.30
Class presentation: First prototypes and research directions (8mn/group)

Present 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?
