Instead of choosing a long-lasting, feasible material, we picked a rather short-living, … Continue reading Textile & Design Language

In the documentary Paris is Burning, the drag performance perfectly implies Judith Butler’s idea that “the drag fully subverts the distinction between inner and outer psychic space”. Butler is essentially saying that the inner truth of gender is a fabrication, fabricated by the historical and cultural context.

Exercise1: Lilypad Connect the sensor to the lilypad and read the sensor values Follow the same circuit as in the last exercise and remember to connect the sensor with a 10k ohm resistor in series to protect it from short circuit. Connect the neopixels to the lilypad +5V: connected to the positive pole of the … Continue reading Micro: bit exercise & Animal Communication

Sensor Luna and I created two sensors, one with a buzzer and one with an LED light. The 10k ohm resistor is connected with the sensor in series to protect it from short circuit, as the resistance of the sensor may reach 0 ohm when its left end is pressed. While the input directly gets … Continue reading Lilypad and Wearable Device
