metabiosis

We decided to try out 3D milling for creating a case to house our electronics. The plan is to create a mold and cast 8 to 10 cases using a semi-flexible resin. The work flow would be: 1. create a 3D model of the mold 2. import this 3d model into the software that controls […]

The first iteration of the meshy board is here! It is super tiny and cute :) Tom is finished working on the last hardware problems today, so we can start doing the first software tests!

Here are some pictures of the center of our lives at this moment, our lovely photo model the PIC18F. At this very moment it is being filled with the most purrr code ever, to test its capacities to function as a 1 bit synth as well as a decoder of 1 bit sounds surrounding it. […]

mesh 1540, “open space in a net,” perhaps from some dial. survival of O.E. max “net,” or from its cognates, M.Du. maessce, Du. maas, from P.Gmc. *mask- (cf. O.N. möskvi, Dan. maske, Swed. maska, O.H.G. masca, Ger. masche “mesh”), from PIE base *mezg- “to knit, plait, twist” (cf. Lith. mezgu “to knit,” mazgas “knot”). The […]

Metabiosis is visiting Waag Society this fall! From the 1st of October until the 21st of December we’ll be hosted by the Waag to work on the next phase of Metabiosis: “Meshy”.

Metabiosis – pond is exhibited at the Netherlands Media Art Institute from the 15th of June until the 14th of July 2007. pond was developped during a two month residency at the Netherlands Media Art Institute in which we investigated how the fragile transition regime between periodic and chaotic phases of a self organizing system […]

The software part of pond is almost ready and we’re now mounting all the bits and pieces together including the touch screens. Everything is working fine but we had a bit of troubles with the serial touchscreen, even though it is supposed to be working on Xorg, the calibration software provided by penmount is really […]

Metabiosis – pond will be exhibited at the Netherlands Media Art Institute from the 15th of June until the 14th of July 2007 Opening: 16:00 o’clock – 15 June 2007

The 25th of April we will end our Fellowship at the Kunsthochschule fur Medien Koln, with a presentation of Metabiosis, and 2 performances at the Klanglabor.

From the 16th of April until the 16th of June, we are working on Metabiosis at the Netherlands Media Art Institute, Amsterdam, NL. We’ll be working on a new installation for 2 months, with the help of Tom Schouten, who will be developping Packet Forth, the language used to program the software running the installation.
