Description
This is an introduction to sewing through the creation of a simple pocket to hold an object of your choosing. We will be practicing the backstitch a simple hand sewing technique to create a good looking durable seam.
Instructions
Start by selecting what will go inside of your pocket and cut a piece of fabric slightly larger than twice the size of that object. Plan and pencil in where seams and hems will be stitched. You will sew the pocket inside out then reverse it to hide the stitches. Remember to leave plenty of margin space to keep your pocket from being too small.
Deliverables
Photograph your sewn creation and post about the experience of sewing and how you might apply this technique and fabric materials to your cyborg enhancement.
Description
As we approach the end of the studio, our sessions should shift towards preparation for the final presentation of our projects. The first step of this preparation is the completion of a final, refined, physical prototype of our cyborg enhancement.
Instructions
Using the full scale drafted drawing, along with the skills developed in earlier activities, create a final prototype. This prototype should be a development of earlier iterations, taking what you have learned from testing and critique to advance the demonstration of your concept.
Deliverables
Once your prototype is complete, record your work with many photographs of your cyborg enhancement. Photograph the project on and off of your body. Shoot video of your project moving and functioning. Upload all pictures and video to a blog post.
Learning Goals
In the building of a refined prototype, teams will be developing their Creative Confidence through the creation of a physical model that is more developed than previously thought possible through the utilization of skills developed in cardboard construction as well as LED and motor circuits. The final iteration of their conceptual exploration further develops competency in Innovation, the ability to create new solutions to a problem.
Description
We will create montages using photo editing software (or physically by cutting and pasting) of a future world. Imagining either a utopia or dystopia and describe how we arrived at this future.
Instructions
Use Photoshop to generate a Fictional Future World.
Start with a blank canvas with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or greater.
Place each element on a separate Photoshop layer
Use high resolutions (large pixel count) images to build your montage
Consider perspective, color, brightness, and scale
Try multiple different options to determine which best tells your narrative
Deliverables
Create a post to showcase your image montage of a future fictional world.
Write a description to explain the world and how it became that way.
Description
In this exercise, you will create a wearable performance piece that helps you recreate a popular meme dance in a new way.
Instructions
Using basic prototyping materials, create a body attachment that moves. Your performance piece should reinterpret the dance move of your choice and generate movement in a specific, intentional way.
A few ideas to get you going: your attachment may act as an extra arm or leg, simulate another person dancing alongside you, or maybe help you combine two dance moves into one. Tap into your inner choreographer/ youtube star and get grooving!
Deliverables
Shoot a video / GIF and post your performance piece as a blog post with a description of how it works and what dance it enhances.
