Printed Electronics can turn everyday objects into interfaces for the digital world.
Printed Electronics can turn everyday objects into interfaces for the digital world.
We will use screen printing with conductive ink to print our own designs on paper, leather, or glass and use them as buttons or slider with the help of microcontrollers such as Arduino. This way we we create objects which serve as input devices for digital functionalities.
We will use screen printing with conductive ink to print our own designs on different material and use them as buttons or sliders with the help of microcontrollers such as Arduino. This way we we create objects which serve as input devices for digital functionalities.
We will first take a look at the basic qualities and possibilities of printed electronics, as well as the characteristics of the tools we are going to use. Here we focus on the screen printing methos and the concept of capacitive sensing with Arduino. Students will design their own objects which we will print on and connect to an Arduino in our second meeting. How about a hot key for your favourite piece of software printed on your sketchbook?

The subject will be connected to Prof. Jens Geelhaar's class: »IDMC - Interface Design Masterclass / Moholy-Nagy Machines.« There will be an introduction to the machines of the Bauhaus Form & Function Lab at Marienstr. 7b, focusing on the 3D MID technology. In our workshop we will then think of possibilites of connecting printed electronics and 3D MID to create a completely new kind of interactive objects.
