So this looks pretty rad and full of potential resources…check it out. http://materiability.com/
For the first iteration, I decided to spray a pint of thermochromic powder onto paper and glue, and see if the heating effect would still work; it did: Then, I used different color bases and different color thermochromic pigments to see what the entire CMYK would look like using thermochromic paint: I then decided to…
In this assignment, I created 3 different speakers: two using copper tape and one using thread. I found copper tape to project a louder sound than thread.
I made five palettes with thermochronic inks. I mixed Thermochromic powder or ink with acrylic base and demonstrated on paper. 4 of 5 worked well when I put my hand on them. Only one with blue ink didn’t work at all. My inspiration came from here. http://www.amandakeenan.com/out-of-sight-out-of-mind-serie/ Poster series by Amanda Keenan has a…

My goal for this speaker was to create something as loud as I could, I used tracing paper as it was a thin enough material that I thought would produce the most vibrations. I also attempted to make my copper wire as tightly coiled as I could with a large surface area. I was…
Capacity Sensor Test One : This testing was more about just getting the hardware and the code to work, I just used a penny to test out if my code was working correctly with the library. Capacity Sensor Test Two: Here I connected two different sensors (A small wire “symbol” and…
