We will craft bio-responsive inflatable structures to amplify human behaviors.

Kristin Neidlinger of Sensoree and Edwin Dertien of UTwente will be co-teaching this one-day Studio. All levels. Friday, 16 January, 2015. Save the date! Space is limited. Sign up today!?@!

In this studio, we will teach methods to concept and craft unique expansive designs.

The one-day studio is organized in stages:

Introduction of materials and media: Hands-on techniques to create future materials by fusing recycled plastics into organic shaped inflatables. Intro to bio-responsive circuit with input of spacial and/or biological sensors.

Concept generation: We will explore how to be more human with technology. What would you like to expand? Ideas could amplify social, therapeutic, or emotive qualities.

Hands on making within partners: We will collaborate our ideas and skills to create unique designs.

Showcase: We will share our new inflata-fashion-installations for each other at the end.

Concept examples from our past workshop at UTwente in the Netherlands:
