Great Mind-Yuri Suziki

Yuri Suzuki, I first know him was because he gave a talk at the uni last year, and i was just amazed with his work as a artist and designer, although most of his interactive work are music based and I dont know music hat much, but I dont need to understand what he does to know how impressive he is in terms of an interaction designer. 

Also his London tube map radio, I first did not know it was his work when I saw it in Design museum London. I immediate understand that how complicated it is to make a radio wiring in to the map of London tubes, and how much time it took to etch the circuit boards, he really is one of my fav designers now.

Arduino mini project-Andriod controlled RGB Leds

Thanks to MKE. I am able to achieve this small trick, I follow the tutorial on the MAKE. website and did this Android controlled LEDs, its capable of changing colours by touching the colour board on the screen of the phone, with the cable connection, the Arduino takes the signal and power from the phone, while the LED strip takes the external 12v power supply, I am able to change the colour of the strip to anything I want.

The MAKE. turorial is:

Arduino mini project-RGB LED

This is the right thing I want to do for my final outcome, a changing colours led lights, its fairly simple yet have a great result, just some coding with a strip of 12v leds the possibility goes great wild, for home lighting and decoration purposes.

Here the lights are still being controlled by the Arduino board along which is programmed to change the colours consistently with a frequency, the thing I want to do is with a controller, or your smartphones/devices, to achieve remote controlling the lighting.

Great Mind-Dunne & Raby

Dunne and Raby, pretty famous designers in the world, with their designs being great materials for debates and mind boggling, the debates I meant isnt the negative but positive way. their works always has greatly encouraged people to think about our future life we gonna have and we want to have, the difference between these two are often mixed together or not being thoroughly considered.


Their works are fairly simple, dont really have any complicated electronics wiring or complex engineering on the physical object, i think its because what they really want to do is to express the ideas they have and communicate with the world, and from what I they did it and did it successfully!
