Résumé du projet Abysses

Je profite de ce WE ensoleillé pour finir de documenter le projet Abysse et Milan. Premier article : résumé de l’aventure.

Quelques chiffres :

8 PCB « fait main » (circuits imprimés) dont 5 définitives
572 soudures par PCB
4004 points de soudures sur board au total
48 LED UV par PCB
240 LED UV au total
960 points de soudures réalisés dans la structure (pour les LED)
Des centaines de metres de fil d’étain
350m de fil noir
200m de fil rouge
20m de cable reseau
104 LED UV dans la matrice
1 circuit shift out « fait main » (pour la matrice)
2 Arduino
2 alim de PC
1 néon noir
8 enceintes « fait main »
1 caisson de basse « fait main »
1 ampli son
1 carte son
1 mac mini
1 aquarium, 2 poissons et 250 méduses de tissu attachés par 1000 fils de pêche.

Liste des éléments fabriqués pour le projet Abysses :

• Matrice LED sous aquarium (fabrication + circuit Shift out + prog arduino)
• PCB (gravure + trouage + soudure (via + smd) + codage allumage LED + codage dialogue Arduino / maxMSP)
• Prog maxMSP (maitrise capteurs + génération de son + comportement des LED)
• Installation dans la boite (choix emplacement LED + pose des PSB + pose des fils (+ ethernet) + dénudage / étamage + collage LED + soudure LED + soudure fils sur PCB + test / debugage programmation PCB)
• Capteurs (installation dans boite + programmation / test Arduino + test / debug experience utilisateur insitu)
• Son (creation enceintes + amplification + installation / test insitu + test carte son + création de l’ambiance sonore + test / debug experience insitu)
• Expérience utilisateur (pas eu le temps de la peaufiner)

Planning rétrospectif, fabrication du projet Abysses (make it work) :

Après la fin des recherches, tests et choix techniques et esthétiques (28 Mars).
• Semaine 1 – 29-04 Avril : Gravure + soudure + codage PCB, fabrication Matrice LED, fabrication enceintes, pose des fils + LED + PCB dans structure.
• Semaine 2 – 05-11 Avril : Soudure fils + LED + PCB dans structure, codage + débugage code PCB, codage comportements LED dans MaxMSP, envoie des structures à Milan (jeudi), départ pour milan Dimanche.
• Semaine 3 – 12-14 Avril : Fin installation + programmation, construction caisson basses, design sonore, pose de la mousse + aquarium, balbutiments de l’expérience utilisateur, vernissage (mercredi).

Press release: HEAD – Geneva at Lift10

The Mode:Demo exhibit went live today as a part of the Lift Conference Geneva 2010. The exhibit was curated by Jean-Louis Boissier as something more or less like a parallel presentation to that of the official Lift conference who’s theme is « Connected People ». All works in the exhibit are here presented as « demonstrable works », i.e. works that can be demonstrated (in the literal sense) by their creators and yet more importantly works that contain within their internal logic a principle of demonstrability.

The exhibition was curated as a part of the first year of the Media Design Master at HEAD — Genève and the scenography of the exhibit was designed by the students of the Space and Communication Master. Some works come from projects and workshops created directly within Media Design, but others come from partner institutions (such as ENSAD Lab or Design Interactions RCA) — works from their students, their professors or both. And finally, some work was simply work we found interesting.

The scenography of the exhibit is quite interesting, and I’ll try to blog some photos later if/when I can find the time to take some pictures or steal some from someone else. Also, the demonstrations themselves are being recorded via recording stations that accompany each work. Those as well will eventually go on-line as part of the archival work that Media Design students are recording in real-time of the exhibit as it reveals itself.

Final note: while Lift is a conference for paying customers, there will be a public exhibition of Mode:Demo on Friday, 7 May 2010 from 13h00–16h30 at the Centre International de Conférences Genève – 17 rue de Varembé, 1211 Genève, Suisse.
