The Absurd Machine of the Possible Impossible
(an open source process) Social hardware & poetry of software

SOMETHING ABOUT THE MACHINE
this machine is a pretext, an excuse. it's a tool to discuss matters, a meta-thought device, a (self-)learning process, a social technology that works like a warehouse of errors and frustrations. the machine is an open process of construction, deconstruction and mutation. this machine wants to be a method, a manifesto, a machine. it refuses to be an art work and because of this it will never be complete. The final result is a weird-looking thing (an "esperpento"). The machine is a reflexion about the dynamics of collective creation, about the possible (and impossible) displacement of the notion of code
The Absurd Machine of the Possible Impossible
beeing a process, the machine has had various versions: 1) V0.1 "the black box" Reflections about: - criticism and visibilization of the absurdity of human-machine interaction - technologies in our lives - opaque VS transparent technologies - physical and social body fragmentation carried out by the technology
2) V0.1.5
(ABORTED
VERSION)
"goddess
machine"
- machine as oracle - faith in technology - interaction as a ritual
3) V0.2 "looking for rizoma (and its failure)" Reflections about: - collective technologies, collective creation, collective processes - processes of interchange - relation between freedom, rules and goals in collective creation - expanded notion of the concept of technology
HOW DOES IT WORK? THE SYSTEM (the input) tools: arduino, processing materials: whatever (recycled)
The Instant Art Critique Phrase Generator
Como falar bonito sem dizer nada
The postmodernism generador
Art critique generator
HOW DOES IT WORK?...the ouput Get inspired....
Model for Optimizing Randomness: Mozart's musical dice game ..being a composer without knowing the rules
From being a composer without knowing the rules... To being an oracle without knowing the ??????
DEMO
WORKING TOGETHER.. What are we going to do? 1. Building the discourse of the machine (collaborative experimental writing) 2. Building the input modules (eletronics and arduino) 3. Customize the modules (crafty things) 4. Put everything together (processing and being patient) 5. Arrange the exhibition space 6. If { we can drink a beer after that} Then {we will become superheroes} Or else {we will die}
WORKING TOGETHER..
How we planned to work? We had designed a work methodologies with decision nodes.... ....BUT -----TIME IS AGAINST US-----
Building the discourse of the machine (collaborative experimental writing) where? http://piratepad.net/Vt8KlirGIr
Structure: IF { [N1] [2.1] [3] } THEN { [N2] [2.2] [4] } ELSE { [N3] [2.2] [5]}
1 noun
2.1 action
condition
2.2 action result
3 place
4 adverb
5 why?
A Napoleon runs away eats an apple
in the wardrobe
quitely because its funny
B Your grandmother
falls in love will die in the kitchen
slowly without an explanation
C This computer
flies to the moon
will explode
behind this screen
fast because it's sunday
Linguistic structure: Conditional - IF Statement
Some necessary rules 1. NOUN = who? / what? - must be 3rd person 2.1. Action - condition. What does he/she/it do? - must be 3rd person - must be present simple - intransitive / transitive+direct object: runs / eats an apple 2.2 Action - result. What does he/she/it do? - must be 3rd person - must be present simple OR future simple. - intransitive / transitive+direct object: runs / eats an apple 3. Place. Where? 4. Adverb. In what way? / how? 5. Reason. Why?
Building the modules
1ª part: arduino and circuits
Some useful links: -more info about sensors: http://www.sensorwiki.org/doku.php -getting start with arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage - resistors: http://www.fortunecity.es/felices/barcelona/146/3ds/tutores/calculograficoresitivo_files/calculograficoresitivo.htm - circuits simulator: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/
Digital input, not continuous 1: button
http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Button
• momentary
button • 10K ohm
resistor • LED • hook-up wire
• Arduino Board • LDR • 1K Ohm
resistor http://arduino.cc/es_old/Processing/SensorDeLuzLDR
Analog input, continuous 1.LDR - Light dependent resistor
Analog input, continuous 2. Potentiometer
• Arduino Board • Potentiometer

Building the modules
2ª part: design the modules why craft?
bricoleur VS. engineer
Moduls will be made with waste material looking for differents types of interaction and without observing the traditional desing paradigms
Building the system
1ª part: get things together
