Tinklets of the Studio

Idea collection:

  • Personalized advertisements/infotainment displays in the studio…
  • PA system in the studio…
  • A little car going around reminding people of things…
  • Interactive e-ink display
  • Extremely small agentic AI in a box
  • Newcomb’s Problem experiment

The overarching theme is always the same: Create an intervention aimed at the students in the Studio (I am also including ID1 students for simplicity, because we are close by).

The question behind it should encompass the aspects of DIY-mentality/the determination of being able to do things yourself, the rejection of corporate controlled life, and cultivating a community which builds upon these values.

A potential question at this stage may be: “How can I cultivate a community of tinkerers?”

This question however implies that I am the central figure in leading such a community, which is not what I want.

Based on that the question could be modified into: “What supports the cultivation of a tinkerer community?” maybe “What does the tinkering community need to thrive?” or “What can we do to make tinkering more mainstream?”

I have done a lot of different things over the holidays, but felt like I was going in circles.

What happens is that I pour time into projects, but these projects are so complex and involved from the outside perspective that it is really hard to engage for strangers. I end up doing things in my corner.

Clark has suggested that I do livestreams, that is, record myself working on the project, so I dont have trouble trying to formulate my progress into text and having to remember what it is what I did on what day.

This can also mean an live audience who can engage with whatever it is that I’m doing.

Self filming experiment:

The finished thing.

Filming myself indeed helped to document it a lot better than trying to take lots of pictures and explaining in text later.
