===Braille===
Braille is a writing system used by the blind. The letters consist of six dots organized in two columns of three points. What is special about Braille is that it is a 6 bit system. This means that it is close to how computers process text. Being a digital system created by a human for humans Braille connects the different ways humans and computers store and process information.

Depending on its form and direction a line can be more or less calm, energetic or even aggressive. The mood lines are a graphic visualization of the mood entered by the user. This way a picture of a person's mood can be generated over a period of time.

==Beschreibung==

Seit Marshall McLuhan vorgeschlagen hat, das Medium nicht nur als Informationsträger, sondern als Ding zu sehen, das einen eigenen Aussagewert generiert, hat der Begriff des Werkzeuges eine neue Bedeutung erhalten: Werkzeuge und Apparate hinterlassen nicht nur am Gegenstand der Bearbeitung ihre Spuren. Sie selbst haben eigene Narrative und erzählen Geschichten.

In einer postdigitalen Gesellschaft scheinen die Werkzeuge zu verschwinden in technologiegestützten Ereignissen. Diese bauen Kraftfelder auf als und für Netze, soziale Bewegungen und Herrschaftsstrukturen.

Im Modul wollen wir einen Blick werfen auf die Artefakte und Konstrukte eines Alltags voller technischer Geräte und Maschinen und diese im Einzelnen betrachten, um ihren Charakter und ihr Ausdruckspotenzial im oben beschriebenen Sinne zu erkennen. Wie organisieren Apparate Menschen? Welches Bild von Zusammenleben implizieren die Werkzeuge? Welche Gesellschaft entwerfen sie?

Im Projekt werden verschiedene Methoden des Arbeitens mit Apparaten und über Apparate vorgestellt. Eine Übersicht über die in der Professur zur Zeit verfügbaren Geräte zusammen mit praktischen Rezepten zu deren Nutzung wird angeboten, die zu einem künstlerisch/gestalterischen Produkt werden sollen (Objekt, Display, Installation, Performance etc.).

==Description==

Marshal McLuhan proposed to see the medium as a thing in its own right rather than considering it a mere container of information. The medium as a thing that is capable to generate its own content. Since then the term "tool" has acquired a new meaning: The traces that tools and machines leave in their workpiece are not the only ones. Tools and devices trace out their own narratives and tales. They tell a story.

In a post-digital society it seems like tools dissolve into events that are driven by technology. These events create force fields that turn into networks, social movements, and structures of power.

In the realm of this course we want to have a closer look at the artifacts and constructions of our every-day life full of technical machinery. We want to analyze the tools in detail, identify their character and their potential of expression, in the sense described above. How do machines organize human life? Which idea of coexistence do they imply? What kind of society do they create?

In this course we will introduce various methods of working with devices, as tools and subjects of artistic expression. We will provide you with an overview of devices currently available at chair of Media Environments. This will be complemented with practical recipes of how to use those tools, and shall culminate in practical products (sculptures, exhibits, installations, performances, et cetera).

==Beschreibung==

Seit Marshall McLuhan vorgeschlagen hat, das Medium nicht nur als Informationsträger, sondern als Ding zu sehen, das einen eigenen Aussagewert generiert, hat der Begriff des Werkzeuges eine neue Bedeutung erhalten: Werkzeuge und Apparate hinterlassen nicht nur am Gegenstand der Bearbeitung ihre Spuren. Sie selbst haben eigene Narrative und erzählen Geschichten.

In einer postdigitalen Gesellschaft scheinen die Werkzeuge zu verschwinden in technologiegestützten Ereignissen. Diese bauen Kraftfelder auf als und für Netze, soziale Bewegungen und Herrschaftsstrukturen.

Im Modul wollen wir einen Blick werfen auf die Artefakte und Konstrukte eines Alltags voller technischer Geräte und Maschinen und diese im Einzelnen betrachten, um ihren Charakter und ihr Ausdruckspotenzial im oben beschriebenen Sinne zu erkennen. Wie organisieren Apparate Menschen? Welches Bild von Zusammenleben implizieren die Werkzeuge? Welche Gesellschaft entwerfen sie?

Im Projekt werden verschiedene Methoden des Arbeitens mit Apparaten und über Apparate vorgestellt. Eine Übersicht über die in der Professur zur Zeit verfügbaren Geräte zusammen mit praktischen Rezepten zu deren Nutzung wird angeboten, die zu einem künstlerisch/gestalterischen Produkt werden sollen (Objekt, Display, Installation, Performance etc.).

==Description==

Marshal McLuhan proposed to see the medium as a thing in its own right rather than considering it a mere container of information. The medium as a thing that is capable to generate its own content. Since then the term "tool" has acquired a new meaning: The traces that tools and machines leave in their workpiece are not the only ones. Tools and devices trace out their own narratives and tales. They tell a story.

In a post-digital society it seems like tools dissolve into events that are driven by technology. These events create force fields that turn into networks, social movements, and structures of power.

In the realm of this course we want to have a closer look at the artifacts and constructions of our every-day life full of technical machinery. We want to analyze the tools in detail, identify their character and their potential of expression, in the sense described above. How do machines organize human life? Which idea of coexistence do they imply? What kind of society do they create?

In this course we will introduce various methods of working with devices, as tools and subjects of artistic expression. We will provide you with an overview of devices currently available at chair of Media Environments. This will be complemented with practical recipes of how to use those tools, and shall culminate in practical products (sculptures, exhibits, installations, performances, et cetera).

GMU:DIY-Microscopy/Cathleen

2013-05-17T09:55:16Z

Cg:

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==
Approach with 2 wedges. The aim was to find a simple mechanism that allows for high precision. If you tighten the screw the lower wedge moves left and pushes up the upper wedge with the camera on top of it. If you loosen the screw the camera moves down.
Because of its simplicity it would be less susceptible to errors.
[[File:MicroscopeCamera.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Wedge mechanism]]
 

== 3D Model ==
[[File:Animation.gif|150px|left|thumb|3D Model]]
 

== Preparing the Camera ==

First remove the lens of the camera. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the outer parts. Then use a hand saw or a pair of nippers to crack open the case around the cable. Carefully remove the plastic without damaging the cable. As a result you get the PCB with the cable and the LEDs. For now leave the black plastic ring on the PCB as a protection for the sensor.

The second step is to remove the LEDs. Unsolder them carefully and clean the solder holes with a desoldering pump.

== Cardboard Model ==

</gallery>

== Copper Model ==
After checking and improving the functionality of the design with the cardboard construction the final model can be built. Here the base material for conductor boards is used. It is made out of epoxy with a copper surface. This makes the material easy to work on. The smooth surface of the copper allows for a smooth movement of the wedges.
The design was expanded by two small springs that constantly pull down the camera platform, preventing the platform to be pushed up by the firm cables of the camera.
What you need is:
* conductor board material
* threaded bolt
* plastic knob
* soldering rod
* solder
* two small extention springs
* small metall clips to keep the threaded bolt in place
* ribbon cable
* tiny screws
* plastic spacers to fixate the camera in the right place
* fretsaw
* rasp
* sanding paper
* drill

File:DIYLeiterplattenmodell01.jpg|copper model
</gallery>

The conductor board material can be easily sawn with a fret saw. Any sharp edges can be removed with rasps and sanding paper. The parts are assembled by soldering them together, also a nut is soldered on the inside of one of the wedges. The threaded bold is fixated to the box with small clamps to keep it steady but turnable at the same time. It reaches through the outer wall of the box into the nut within the wedge and thereby provides the mechanism for the wedge movement.

== Microscopic Images ==
=== Calculating Camera Resolution ===
An iPad with 52ppcm (pixel per cm) was used to calculate the camera resolution. This means that one pixel is 10/52 mm wide, that is roughly 0,2 mm. These 0,2 mm equal 300 pixels of the camera image. Therefore one pixel of our camera shows 0,00067 mm (0,2mm/300) of the specimen. Knowing that the image is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high, the image size adds up to 0,43 mm in width (0,00067*640) and 0,32 mm in height (0,00067*480).
[[File:Resolution.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Ipad pixels]]
 

=== Artemia Salina ===
With the objective of finding interesting material to examine Artemia Salina were breeded. Artemia Salina is a very old species of brine shrimp. Breeding sets can be found in the pet shop and have been a gimmick in childrens science magazines on a regular basis.
Unfortunately even the newly hatched shrimps called nauplii are to big to be examined thoroughly with the camera.

=== Hay infusion ===
Another possibility to create specimen to look at with a microscope is the hay infusion. Collect a handfull of hay and dry leaves and about 500 ml of pond water. Put the hay in a glass bowl and pour the water on it. Keep your hay infusion in a bright place at room temperature. After a few days you can find protozoa like Paramecium, Amoebia or Euglena. The hay infusion results in different protozoa depending on the material that is used. Possible materials are hay, dry leaves or salad that wasn't treated with pesticides.

After 5 days at room temperature a lot of bacteria and also quite a lot of protozoa have developed.

===Clotting Blood===
This is a fast motion video of clotting blood. The video's speed was increased by about 700%. The real time clotting took almost 5 minutes.

=== Guess what ===
<videoflash type=vimeo>54253797|400|300</videoflash>

==Artistic approach==
The aim was to create sounds to the microscopic pictures that are distinct and reflect the processed video input. The first step was to find parameters to extract directly from the picture and to transform them info sound in a logical way. To achieve the transformation into sound this the visual programming language Pure Data and the software Mainstage can be used.

Parameters such as
*brightness
*contrast
*histogram
*movement
*colour
were considered.

There were however some restrictions because of the quality of the image. The idea of using colour for example had to be dismissed because of the automatic white balance of the camera.

In the end three different parameters were chosen: the overall brightness of the image, the histogram of the image, which changes over the period of a video and the movement of individuals inside the picture.

===Brightness===
The parameter brightness was used to create an atmospheric sound that does not undergo any sudden changes. Long lasting notes with echo were chosen to create a general atmosphere.
<videoflash type=vimeo>62855963|520|270</videoflash>
The software takes the RGB values of the picture, adds them and divides them by 3 which gives the general brightness of the picture. This value is transformed to a midi compatible value to create a sound using a synthesizer software.

===Histogram===
The values of the histogram of the pictures are taken and transformed into notes. This sequence is replayed over and over again. Just by listening to the histogram sound it is possible to tell if the picture has a consistent brightness distribution of if there are outliers which represent as spikes in the histogram.

The histogram sound constributes to the general atmosphere by adding a sense of strangeness and oddness.
<videoflash type=vimeo>62856047|520|230</videoflash>

====Combination====
The following examples combine the parameters brightness and histogram.

Video stills:
<videoflash type=vimeo>56874082|520|210</videoflash>
<videoflash type=vimeo>56874080|520|210</videoflash>

Video:
<videoflash type=vimeo>56874349|520|210</videoflash>

===Movement===
By defining whether there is life in the picture or not, movement is a very important parameter to create an authentic sound but also a very tricky one.
The aim was to provide the possibilty to tell something about the intensity and direction of the movement just by listening to the sound.

This video only shows the movement parameter:
<videoflash type=vimeo>62856465|400|300</videoflash>

The y coordinate is the parameter which controls the pitch of the tine, that means, if the creature moves up the pitch rises, if the creature moves down the pitch also falls.

The x coordinate controls how fast the notes are played. If the creature moves to the left the sound is calmer and has a low velocity, the more right the creature moves, the faster the sound gets.

There are certain limitations. The detection is not completely accurate, the cross hair jumps up and down within the creature. It is however possible to tell something about the kind of movement that is performed in the picture.

====Combination====
The following example combines all three parameters:
<videoflash type=vimeo> 62856497|400|300</videoflash>

The tracking works well for videos with only one moving object. The problem of jumping cross hairs is increased when there are more moving objects but although the sound does not reflect the direction of movement anymore, it reflects the intensity of movement.
<videoflash type=vimeo> 62856099|400|300</videoflash>

===End Result===
By combining all three parameters a sound atmosphere is generated that is directly linked to the images seen. Altogether it creates a feeling of a microscopic word that is, although it is part of our every day life, a world completely foreign to us. The foreignness already immanent in the picture is intensified through the sound.

Furthermore the approach can be seen as a possibility to perceive something within the picture that is not directly visible to the eye. A slight change in the brightness of the picture for example can be heard much easier than seen. This way a further development of the approach could be used to help perceiving microscopic images, possibly even in a scientific way.

===Braille===
Braille is a writing system used by the blind. The letters consist of six dots organized in two columns of three points. What is special about Braille is that it is a 6 bit system. This means that it is close to how computers process text. Being a digital system created by a human for humans Braille connects the different ways humans and computers store and process information.

File:afraid_frightened.png|afraid frightened
File:excited_aggressive.png|excited aggressive
</gallery>

Depending on its form and direction a line can be more or less calm, energetic or even aggressive. The mood lines are a graphic visualization of the mood entered by the user. This way a picture of a person's mood can be generated over a period of time.

== Miroscopy Stage Construction ==
Approach with 2 wedges. The aim was to find a simple mechanism that allows for high precision. If you tighten the screw the lower wedge moves left and pushes up the upper wedge with the camera on top of it. If you loosen the screw the camera moves down.
Because of its simplicity it would be less susceptible to errors.

== Preparing the Camera ==

First remove the lens of the camera. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the outer parts. Then use a hand saw or a pair of nippers to crack open the case around the cable. Carefully remove the plastic without damaging the cable. As a result you get the PCB with the cable and the LEDs. For now leave the black plastic ring on the PCB as a protection for the sensor.

The second step is to remove the LEDs. Unsolder them carefully and clean the solder holes with a desoldering pump.

== Copper Model ==
After checking and improving the functionality of the design with the cardboard construction the final model can be built. Here the base material for conductor boards is used. It is made out of epoxy with a copper surface. This makes the material easy to work on. The smooth surface of the copper allows for a smooth movement of the wedges.
The design was expanded by two small springs that constantly pull down the camera platform, preventing the platform to be pushed up by the firm cables of the camera.
What you need is:
* conductor board material
* threaded bolt
* plastic knob
* soldering rod
* solder
* two small extention springs
* small metall clips to keep the threaded bolt in place
* ribbon cable
* tiny screws
* plastic spacers to fixate the camera in the right place
* fretsaw
* rasp
* sanding paper
* drill

The conductor board material can be easily sawn with a fret saw. Any sharp edges can be removed with rasps and sanding paper. The parts are assembled by soldering them together, also a nut is soldered on the inside of one of the wedges. The threaded bold is fixated to the box with small clamps to keep it steady but turnable at the same time. It reaches through the outer wall of the box into the nut within the wedge and thereby provides the mechanism for the wedge movement.

== Microscopic Images ==
=== Calculating Camera Resolution ===
An iPad with 52ppcm (pixel per cm) was used to calculate the camera resolution. This means that one pixel is 10/52 mm wide, that is roughly 0,2 mm. These 0,2 mm equal 300 pixels of the camera image. Therefore one pixel of our camera shows 0,00067 mm (0,2mm/300) of the specimen. Knowing that the image is 640 pixels wide and 480 pixels high, the image size adds up to 0,43 mm in width (0,00067*640) and 0,32 mm in height (0,00067*480).

=== Artemia Salina ===
With the objective of finding interesting material to examine Artemia Salina were breeded. Artemia Salina is a very old species of brine shrimp. Breeding sets can be found in the pet shop and have been a gimmick in childrens science magazines on a regular basis.
Unfortunately even the newly hatched shrimps called nauplii are to big to be examined thoroughly with the camera.

=== Hay infusion ===
Another possibility to create specimen to look at with a microscope is the hay infusion. Collect a handfull of hay and dry leaves and about 500 ml of pond water. Put the hay in a glass bowl and pour the water on it. Keep your hay infusion in a bright place at room temperature. After a few days you can find protozoa like Paramecium, Amoebia or Euglena. The hay infusion results in different protozoa depending on the material that is used. Possible materials are hay, dry leaves or salad that wasn't treated with pesticides.

After 5 days at room temperature a lot of bacteria and also quite a lot of protozoa have developed.

===Clotting Blood===
This is a fast motion video of clotting blood. The video's speed was increased by about 700%. The real time clotting took almost 5 minutes.

=== Guess what ===
<videoflash type=vimeo>54253797|400|300</videoflash>

==Artistic approach==
The aim was to create sounds to the microscopic pictures that are distinct and reflect the processed video input. The first step was to find parameters to extract directly from the picture and to transform them info sound in a logical way. To achieve the transformation into sound this the visual programming language Pure Data and the software Mainstage can be used.

Parameters such as
*brightness
*contrast
*histogram
*movement
*colour
were considered.

There were however some restrictions because of the quality of the image. The idea of using colour for example had to be dismissed because of the automatic white balance of the camera.

In the end three different parameters were chosen: the overall brightness of the image, the histogram of the image, which changes over the period of a video and the movement of individuals inside the picture.

===Brightness===
The parameter brightness was used to create an atmospheric sound that does not undergo any sudden changes. Long lasting notes with echo were chosen to create a general atmosphere.
<videoflash type=vimeo>62855963|520|270</videoflash>
The software takes the RGB values of the picture, adds them and divides them by 3 which gives the general brightness of the picture. This value is transformed to a midi compatible value to create a sound using a synthesizer software.

===Histogram===
The values of the histogram of the pictures are taken and transformed into notes. This sequence is replayed over and over again. Just by listening to the histogram sound it is possible to tell if the picture has a consistent brightness distribution of if there are outliers which represent as spikes in the histogram.

The histogram sound constributes to the general atmosphere by adding a sense of strangeness and oddness.
<videoflash type=vimeo>62856047|520|230</videoflash>

====Combination====
The following examples combine the parameters brightness and histogram.

<videoflash type=vimeo>56874349|520|210</videoflash>

===Movement===
By defining whether there is life in the picture or not, movement is a very important parameter to create an authentic sound but also a very tricky one.
The aim was to provide the possibilty to tell something about the intensity and direction of the movement just by listening to the sound.

This video only shows the movement parameter:
<videoflash type=vimeo>62856465|400|300</videoflash>

The y coordinate is the parameter which controls the pitch of the tine, that means, if the creature moves up the pitch rises, if the creature moves down the pitch also falls.

The x coordinate controls how fast the notes are played. If the creature moves to the left the sound is calmer and has a low velocity, the more right the creature moves, the faster the sound gets.

There are certain limitations. The detection is not completely accurate, the cross hair jumps up and down within the creature. It is however possible to tell something about the kind of movement that is performed in the picture.

====Combination====
The following example combines all three parameters:
<videoflash type=vimeo> 62856497|400|300</videoflash>

The tracking works well for videos with only one moving object. The problem of jumping cross hairs is increased when there are more moving objects but although the sound does not reflect the direction of movement anymore, it reflects the intensity of movement.
<videoflash type=vimeo> 62856099|400|300</videoflash>

===End Result===
By combining all three parameters a sound atmosphere is generated that is directly linked to the images seen. Altogether it creates a feeling of a microscopic word that is, although it is part of our every day life, a world completely foreign to us. The foreignness already immanent in the picture is intensified through the sound.

Furthermore the approach can be seen as a possibility to perceive something within the picture that is not directly visible to the eye. A slight change in the brightness of the picture for example can be heard much easier than seen. This way a further development of the approach could be used to help perceiving microscopic images, possibly even in a scientific way.

===Braille===
Braille is a writing system used by the blind. The letters consist of six dots organized in two columns of three points. What is special about Braille is that it is a 6 bit system. This means that it is close to how computers process text. Being a digital system created by a human for humans Braille connects the different ways humans and computers store and process information.

Depending on its form and direction a line can be more or less calm, energetic or even aggressive. The mood lines are a graphic visualization of the mood entered by the user. This way a picture of a person's mood can be generated over a period of time.
