Set up testsCeramic updates:
fire at 1060°C


Left: 1060°C. Right: 1230°C 
1060°C 
1230°C (Matte transparent glaze tests currently in kiln)
Shape – less floral but still “Goldrand Teller” relation

Sketches Illustrations

Saucer illustrations below cup:



Colours, sketches whole set (not final)


lighter version:

Setup tests
somewhat typical Austrian coffee/tea & cake setting
dark room, 2 light panels from above, warm & diffused:

120cm diameter table -> maybe a bit smaller (100-110cm?) 



Tales & Voices tests
3min per tale, 3 different storytellers at the table
1. older man (Helmut Wittmann or Bruno Geissmann)
2. girl (Rosa Sturm)
3. woman / younger man
Sound samples:
Older man (Helmut Wittmann, not my fairytale yet):
Girl (Rosa):
Coming together, final set up
Sound:
taking turns, 10 min loop
either one central source, one source at each seat?
add soundscape
Clanking, pouring tea and sugar, stirring, …Voice + Sounds

Tutorials 2026 06 05
Reference material in “Tinklets of the Studio” blog.
Ylvie: Being given an opportunity to work with electronics is great, but the concept needs ways to persist in the visiting audience. Will they know where to get knowledge? Will they know how to continue after the workshop ends?





- We are working on tests of this workshop
- Parts Database for reproducibility like a kit
- The accessible chips stand at odds with the complicated wiring of the underlying board
- 3 schedules at Baltazars Lab after the finals

Tutorials, June 5th
“Emotional Weather” Forecast
- weather system = chaotic system
- unstable and never fully predictable like emotional states and the crises we are facing (and our experience of and responses to them)
- peace offering and acceptance of anxiety instead of trying to optimize it away
- record people’s experience at the current time, no complicated projection and reflection
- forecast and history to view your emotions “passing”
Valence-Arousal Model of Emotion as Input

- Pick colours from the gradient to illustrate your current emotional state
- not assigning particular emotions or categories, but general adjectives to describe layered experiences

Weather Station and “Window” at DI Studio
- export values at coordinates to TouchDesigner
- animate a landscape illustration to display the current “emotional weather” at the location
- grid of frames/states mapped to the colours of the gradient


- Frames = different foregrounds and backgrounds layered to represent each cell of the gradient-grid
Next Steps
- prototype the animation
- importing data already works
- illustrate frames
- refine weather forecast
- weather system = chaotic system

29.05.2026 | design freeze
feedback design freeze:
- material? stone?
- form of leather => »animal form« => not good
- reasons for material-use
- showing other material try outs?
- performance/tattoo workshop? incorporating others

Concept of the Project
It started as small experiments with a lot of different Tinklets.



That is, small found electronics turned into new playful things.

I thought the final outcome would be something concrete and be embodied in a specific object.
But because what I want to show is so involved, it is turning into a more abstract framework of different aspects that I want to communicate.
I want to:
- Make people interested in making something and learning the things needed to make it happen,


- Make them able to recognize something in a mountain of junk, something someone threw away
- Contribute to reduction of and awareness about electronics waste,
- Make the movement/idea/project non-intimidating and accessible for others to engage in,
Core aspects:
- Electronics, Right to Repair and recycling/upcycling
- Playful attitude and learning new things
- My personal experience/character
These aspects are intertwined. Together they constitute my body of work.
This is moving me away from making specific tinklets, into the direction of a coworking experimenting desk, where visitors can experiment with electronics, and experience my messaging and viewpoint.
At the same time, when facing an audience, the topic of electronics is too broad to offer. While conceptualizing with Ana, we focused on a manageable task the visitors can accomplish during their visit.
Next steps
- Trying various desk setups
- Getting a feeling for the workshop flow
What could it look like?


[^visual reference]


"Moses-channel"-style desk. Two participants, one a visitor, sit facing each other.

L-bend workspace. Participants do not face each other. Requires square table.

Wide bench. Several participants sit side by side. Already existing layout.

Working on the floor. Association with playing with LEGOs on the floor. Extra: Manuals and experiments reading corner.
