Research & Ideation

I don't have a clear idea yet of what I want to do in the Fabricademy program. I'm very excited about the possibility of combining and experimenting with what I will learn with what I already 'know,' from a technical, aesthetic, and/or conceptual standpoint. What interests me is perhaps observing the evolution of my practice through Fabricademy and what I can take from it. I have two ideas for machines to build during the 'Open Source Hardware' week. I would like to get the plans for the Braiding Machine from the Soft Connection Lab so I can build it.

about your images..delete the tip!!

  1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

  2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :)

This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation. Remove tips when you don't need them anymore!

Documentation workflow

The first week of Fabricademy program is dedicated on familiarising ourself with Gitlab, an online & open-source documentation platform. This is how we will share our researchs each week during the program. It seemed to me more easy to do all the documentation locally, to have the possibility to work without internet connection.

The are multiples steps to follow :

Step 1 --- You will find this "step by step" on every student's Gitlab :)

If you want to see your changes on a local website (without Internet), you need to create a SSH Key
