Magnets

- What is it?

A series of magnets of different scale and shape that you can carry around to mess up various electronics.

- Why make it?

Tear some seams into the "smooth now". Make evident the dependency of machines all over, evoke some sense of need to

- Workflow

Find out if this is just bullshit by researching magnets Find different everyday looking objects (phone cover, an actual credit card, a USB stick) find out how to tell if this works by trying the magnets on different devices find out how can they accommodate a strong magnet find out how to avoid the magnet being "exposed/on" at all times to avoid corrupting your own devices (maybe a case?)

- Timetable

Probably a month if done mainly, three if this is secondary or tertiary project.

-Rapid prototypes (scratches)

OS delete (videogame)

- What is it?

A game with real stakes: deletes part of your OS on failures

- Why?

Something that would generate those real life anxiety stakes of losing something important (even if, most is probably not important, since you never think about it)

- Workflow

Interview people about how they felt/would feel about loosing data/ the possibility to access data

Just move all your data somewhere else and then guide the player to "restoring" them.

- Timetable

Several months, making a game is a bliss and a curse at the same time.

Book scanning workshop

create a space for discussing sharing practises while doing!

Tic-Tac-Toernament

Inspired by the snake plotter game (Joseph), make a game with the dot matrix printers. (1)

I'm very happy to see old tech re-purposed (2), I was thinking of simple games that could be nice to see printed to kind of record a history of the session(s).

In general

I Imagined the workflow as: find a way to code the game, find a way to save a game (match) to a file, print the file everytime the game is over. Once this is covered multiply this in multiple communicating dot matrix printers, which are also connceted to something else that prints a live scoreboard.

In detail

Make it possible to choose roles and usernames, add a commentator for fun (like sports telecronaca*), make it so that the winner is able to write a message, have a scoreboard print out, which also shows the message of the players (bonus: use the options of the dotmatrix to print side by side instead of vertically, to better use the space)

If all of the previous points are covered, add a menu and modes like 1v1, 1v1 best of 3 etc.

if really really everything else is covered, online mode in a hacky way with wall or tmux. (3)

(4)

Did a working tic tac toe in the terminal, there are still some things to do before adding the commentator and the rest, so I would say that I am still at step 1 :/ (5)
