Office for Electronic Encounters
At the Office for Electronic Encounters, I work together with other creatives to realize their ideas with electronics and code. I have built interactive installations, custom portable controllers, and wearable sensors, I've programmed generative visuals, built web applications, and many other things. My special love is for projects that combine textiles with electronics.
Find some examples of previous collaborations below.

Technical Set-Up: 16 Butterflies attached to DC motors mounted in the ceiling, controlled by 8 ESP-microcontrollers. A webserver connects all the individual modules, and using a custom built webapp, the movement patterns and synchronization can be controlled on the phone or laptop for all butterflies after everything has been mounted.
Scope: Prototyping of electronics and software, including the development of control and motor units that can be produced at scale as well as a custom butterfly web app to control and coordinate all flight patterns. Production of 8 control and 16 motor units, exhibition proof and controllable with the app connected to the wifi network on any phone or laptop.
