Crafting Material Interfaces

*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.
