What’s your favorite thing you’ve made?
Casper the Ghost a home automation robot with a crazy personality : https://www.lukevink.com

What’s the most frustrating object you’ve used?
I despise plastic wrapping containers, with a serious passion.

What do you personally hope to get out of this class?
As part of the Tangible Media group, this class will act as a kick start into a field I am quickly becoming familiar with. I hope to gain a deep understanding of Tangible Media and previous works in the group, refinement of practical skills and a rough direction for my Master thesis.

How can you contribute to the class?
I have practical skills in programming, hardware, UI/UX design, film and design methodology. These skills should ideally help in any ideation or prototyping process. As a Tangible Media group member I can also provide any insights I learn through my own research outside of class.
