Inspiration (Assignment 1)
I had a couple of different inspirations that I came across. The first is the first project shown in this ted talk by Leah Buechley on How to “sketch” with electronics. Here she shows the ability to draw very basic circuits and uses stickers to identify the places things need to be placed. I really like this project because it is a good perspective on how to easily convey where things should be and how to teach these basic circuitry ideas.
The second project that I found interesting was the soft electric project by Grace Kim. This project was a thesis of an ITP student. Her use of texture, fabric and seamless integration of electronics into an inspirational pattern is unique.
