Hardware Hacking workshop with Yann Seznec

Diary (sequel)
_DAY 2(20012011):After Martin's lecture about documentation we didn't have enough time for everyone to show what we had in mind or what examples we had found so only Ray showed us what he was thinking. Ray suggested that our final product could be a site where we could have a sort of a photo-chain that would express the linear process of our project. We all thought that we could use this idea for the documentation of our work and not for the project itself as we agreed that we prefer an installation with certain interactivity. As our meeting was really short we shared our links|examples on our Facebook group page and via mail._DAY 3(25012011):The first issue that was risen on our third meeting was about the roles that each one of us would have. Pete (as the only one with "sound experience") suggested that there should be more than one people invovled with sounds, so we agreed to work out who from the "visuals" will work with the audio part too. Then we started expressing opinions about the project which I can share through this post.
*which are going to be our inputs?
*how is it going to start generate?*is it going to be processing the language?
*select information and have a different result each time -> the element of surprise
*reverse of what you expect | less obvious results
*no lights | imposing result
*dialogue between the installation and the user
*one user / spectator per time
After having everyone's opinion we ended our third meeting by saying that : Ray and I (Maro) are going to work on the documentation apart from the code and that on Monday we are going to show each other some examples of what we think and are able to do about the project in whatever program we want in order to see what we have in mind.
Diary (?)
_DAY 1(19012011): Except from introducing ourselves and getting to know each other, we tried to express why we selected this project. "Challenging, generative art, creativity, getting familiar with code" are some randomly selected opinions that identify the multi_motivated team (!). Moreover, we enumerated the program languages that we know : max msp, javascript, flash (AS) in order to work out which one of them is going to write our code, but at that time we didn't have a result. When Jules met us he told us some examples such as the 77 million paintings by Brian Eno(it was a good inspiration searching about this). Day 1 ended by arranging another meeting the day after in order to express what we think should be the final output of our project : should it be an installation, a site or should it be projected, interactive?...many questions to be answered
Getting started
After having our third meeting at Alison house, we finally took the decision to start introducing ourselves and express, in public from now on, our views on our upcoming project.
So, while the code is still unknown let’s start by introducing the team. Here we are five DDM’s and one DCP student forming the Code Unknown group. We haven’t yet decided who is going to work on which exact part of the project(visuals, audio, etc) but I think that all the team seems to enjoy getting involved and learning new things.
