This two-day workshop explored the subject of autonomy in a networked world. Like castaways stranded in a post-Google society, we attempted to design, build and program our own devices and appliances - using relic open source software, silicon from the waste of the smartphone industry, and post-consumer composite materials to give them shape. The outcome is a variety of prototyped devices which, ironically, reflect on the abundance of “smart” objects populating the market such as Amazon dash buttons, IoT fridges, tweeting coffee machines, etc.
The objects created are critical, funny, or genuinely useful. Containing our own software sketches (written in Processing) in their cores, and working either solitarily or in a (local-) networked fashion, they are meant to give us comfort in the times when we feel a sense of loss for our watchful corporate overlords.
