Aeolab Elise Co, Nikita Pashenkov (Aeolab) laboratory, design, technology, experience, hardware, software
Aeolab is a design & technology firm founded by Elise Co and Nikita Pashenkov. We specialize in projects that cross boundaries: from online to in-person, physical to digital, often spanning multiple technologies and always within the context of creating a compelling experience. Our areas of expertise include interactive software & hardware, environmental installations, responsive lighting systems, and electronic device prototyping.
Cati Vaucelle Cati Vaucelle (MIT Media Laboratory) avatar, biological, science, healthcare, hybrid
Through an interdisciplinary lens that brings together engineering, art, cognitive science, and healthcare, I explore the anthropomorphic nature of hybrid physical/digital objects and their promise to be catalysts towards unforeseen discoveries. I design objects to offer anima and perspective: from the haptic jacket that an autistic patient wears to express to the doctor what it means to be sensory defensive, to the electromagnetic field detector bracelet that transforms invisible information into visible data for a feeling of empowerment, or an environment where instead of you taking care of your avatar in massive online games, your avatar turns around and takes care of your biological needs.
Fab Lab (MIT) 2006 computer controlled tools, MIT, concepts, technological art, DIY, fashionable technology, wearable, workshop, design tools, circuits and microcontrollers, 3D Printing and Scanning Machines
A Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop with an array of computer controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything". This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production. While Fab Labs have yet to compete with mass production and its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely distributed products, they have already shown the potential to empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are not practical or economical using mass production.
Fashion Fianchettos Otto von Busch code, draping, algebraic, fashion, experiment, workshop, paper
Design workshop at Gallery Room 103 in Auckland in Spring 2009, called Fashion Fianchettos. The workshop used live draping and algebraic topology to experiment with new ways of disseminating fashion, as a set of mathematical functions and minimal codes of new drapings that could be sent between fashionistas. With a handful of bandage clips and an oversized t-shirt, the workshop provided an experimental platform for algebraic notated fashion, as well as a laboratory connecting academic text, social media and practical draping.
Interaction Design Department (Domus Academy) academy, school, ICT
The Master course in I-Design comes from a challenge: to bring the originality of Italian Design in the world of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The course represents the natural evolution of a series of training and research initiatives developed in Domus Academy since 1983 on theme of technological innovation and on the design of intangible relations with interactive objects and services. It is part of a permanent laboratory on the themes of digital information with the culture of design at its centre, intended as knowledge of the changing world and as a way of learning by designing.
MIT Media Laboratory Aesthetics + Computation Group (MIT Media Lab) computation, laboratory, MIT
At the mit media laboratory aesthetics + computation group we work toward the design of advanced system architectures and thought processes to enable the creation of (as yet) unimaginable forms and spaces
Puff & Flock Kathy Schicker (Puff & Flock-textile design laboratory) academic research, fine arts, material science, design, innovation, share, group, textile designers, storytelling, product design, unconvetional, statement for textiles
We are a recently formed group of textile designers, bound by a shared vision for the future direction of design. Far from the common perception of textile designers as girls who draw flowers, we are individuals who integrate aspects of material science, fine arts, academic research, storytelling, and product design into our practice. Because this broad understanding of textile design is still considered unconventional, we join forces to create a stronger statement for textiles.
Riso National Laboratory (Riso National Laboratory ) sustainable energy, research, institute, nuclear technologies, laboratory, scientific approach, solar cells, print
Riso carries out research on future generations of photovoltaic technologies (PV) and in particular polymer solar cells. In addition, we look into other means of utilizing sunlight; for instance to reduce carbon dioxide to synthetic fuels (solar fuels). Solar energy is a focus point in many strategies for a sustainable energy supply. The European Commissionís Strategic Energy Plan (SET-plan) envisages a Solar Europe Initiative, where photovoltaics and concentrated solar power (CSP) supply as much power as wind mills in the future.
The Patchingzone Anne Nigten (The Patchingzone) materials, laboratory, master, doctor, post doc students, professionals, students, reseacher, creative use of high-tech, digital media, information technology
The Patchingzone is a transdisciplinary laboratory for innovation where Master, doctor, post-doc students and professionals from different backgrounds create meaningful content. In our laboratories the students and researchers work together, supervised by experts, on commissions with creative use of high-tech materials, digital media and / or information technology.
Transstudio Tom Neilssen (Transstudio) creative laboratory, materials, research, architect, innovation
Transstudio is a creative laboratory dedicated to emergent materials research and the development of material-focused architecture and design applications. Created by architect, materials researcher, and sustainable building advisor Blaine Brownell, Transstudio promotes the positive transformation of the constructed environment via synergistic intersections between sustainability, technology, and design innovation. The Transstudio platform seeks to make change through multiple channelsópromoting awareness, providing resources, and offering tangible solutionsóin order to connect disruptive technologies with concomitant design approaches.
