*maybe Inspired by a paper we read last week, I attempted to produce a conductive silicone elastomer. While the paper used a variety of conductive fillers—silver, aluminum, nickel—I was limited by the materials on-hand, and decided to focus on nickel, which was available in the lab, and gives fairly good conductive results.
By Shan Gao I’m interested in redesigning some ordinary objects into interactive projects. By doing this, the old staff will be given a second life. So, this time I’ve tried to experiment conductive fabrics and threads to make a signal tool with a glove.
Dena Molnar and Nicole Tariverdian: Thermochromic paint and pigments have the ability to change color when heated.
I decided for this week’s assignment to take up the second brief, and thoroughly investigate the various properties and possibilities of my choice of material.
I was interested in taking a pure element of nature, such as a beautiful flower, and transforming it into a technical matter.

A Study of How Conductive Materials Behaves on Leaves I wanted to experiment with a natural material that can be found everywhere.
I used wool yarn to create a swatch of felted conductive material, testing its relative resistivity in the felting process. I also used wool rovings to create large felted strands, like dread locks—good candidates for silver thread.
By Daekwon Park This project is an investigation of materiality and embedded conductivity.
