Being a printmaker with a 3D printer means that when you forgot to get (or make) a card and you've only got two hours before an event you've got things covered.
Video from my last live set at Iklectik online now: https://youtu.be/1EfWWZHavuI?si=2QSbyFI_MK6x02xE
I included various new devices and builds in the performance, some of which worked better than others.
worm gear long-loop percussion
new modular synth sound sources (slight bugs)
magnetic tape record (minor failure)
multiple webcams for projection and documentation
strobe light kick drum trigger via rotator cuff (mostly ineffective)
Enjoyed the performance though, great atmosphere in a packed room - nice you can see folks dancing in the video. A great send off to Iklectik's Waterloo space (this was the penultimate event there).
Elektrische Zahnbürste von K1 war kaputt. Aufgeschraubt, Akku mit Glitzerband wieder festgemacht. Zugeschraubt. Schrubbt wie vorher, jetzt aber mit Glitzern in den Augen der Kinder. 🤩
@2du@christopher i recommend a stronger contrast, I was rushed. Literally popped it out an hour before leaving. This is em, overkill, a chunk of 10 guage 304SS I had sitting around... using a ruler to do the grids real fast with pencil, and looking back n forth at the image generated. If I do again I will use brushed or angel hair finish because the shine wonks the code in other than ideal lighting. Or I will use my mini CNC... if I can get it pumping. #making#cheers !!!!
I have a #making problem. I'm trying to #DIY some replacement wood game pieces, and I haven't figured out how to replicated embossed red lettering on wood without embossing tools... Any ideas out there?
Knitting progress update! Having taught myself to knit over the weekend thanks to a very generous human giving me some needles and yarn, I have leapt in and am really enjoying it.
I'm working on a blanket in stages - the squares aren't even or matching but I don't care, they're pretty, I'll make it work!
I also knitted a hat and in doing so discovered patterns are very confusing to me (at least at the moment).
A sneak peek behind the scenes at the #Make: test labs — can you guess what @ishotjr is #making? Do you recognize any of this gear? 🤔 Let us know below, as well as if you're #hacking on anything fun today! 🤘 💗 🤘
Pretty busy this week, limited time for #making - but, planning a conference talk, briefing speakers for another conference, and preparing content for a stand at yet another conference… so, it will all be worth it!
Is it wildly ambitious of me, a very novice sewer who is scared to practice with her sewing machine, to try to turn an old jumper of mine into a doggy jumper?
There are many ways to survive erasure. One is craft. Artisanship and making are powerful tool to render diverse cultures and identities, those intangible things that imperial colonialism fears and aims to delete for ever.
The #Palestinian Taatreez, is an ancestral embroidery practice, that helps the Palestinian people not just to tell, but especially not to forget, their own story: one stitch at a time
