Smart Spectral Sensing
In this workshop, we invite participants to unquantify the quantified body. We will reprogram the sensordata, pixels, and connectivity information provided to explore sub- and super-consicious, maybe even spectral connections between humans and non-humans. We use smart wristbands as a tool to engage the unquantifiable connections, flows and networks between us.

Bibliotecha is a framework to facilitate the local distribution of digital publications within a small community. It relies on a microcomputer running open-source software to serve books over a local wifi hotspot. Using the browser to connect to the library one can retrieve or donate texts. Bibliotecha proposes an alternative model of distribution of digital texts that allows specific communities to form and share their own collections.
