Yo!Bot artist talk at Build Brighton: 11th March 2014

Hannah and David attended an artist talk this evening at Build Brighton by the maker of YoBot;

Yo!Bot is a little battery powered robot that uses your SmartPhone or device as it's brain. Simply slot in your iPhone, iPod Touch or Android* device.

We learnt lots about manufacturing, 3D modelling and 3D printing, Oki printers (high quality), which software to use, and what equipment is easy to use to create prototypes. Below are some slides to show this;

Once the controller has been replaced we can start testing 3D printing toy hacks made out of chocolate, cookie mixture, and ceramics!!: )

Subversive Crafts Exhibition: Brighton Museum: Saturday 8th March

Hannah and David visited the Subversive Design exhibition at Brighton Museum to check out a chair made out of soft toys made by the Campana Brothers;

The chair was essentially a large Toy Hack constructed out of multiples of several different toys. The chair was eye catching and inspirational, as was the rest of the exhibition. The display cases were also very interesting, raw and potentially available to borrow for future exhibitions, as I asked one of the museum exhibition installers if it might be possible for us to borrow display cases for a future Exploring Senses exhibition, and the answer was a potential yes!

3Dify: 3D printing artist talk at Brighton FuseBox: Tuesday 4th March 2014

David Allistone attended the 3Dify talk at Brighton's Fusebox today to learn about the emerging 3D printing industry. I learnt about the variety of ways 3D printing can be used within our world including plastic, metal, and ceramic materials, small scale and large scale examples being 3D printed concrete houses. I also learnt about 3D modalling software that is free to use.

Below are some photos of slides from the presentation, apologies for the poor visible quality: )

David visits National Trust 'Batemans': ceramic wall reliefs: could be interesting for Bespoke CommuniToy

Batemans is a classic arts and crafts period house full of interesting artefacts. Whilst exploring the house David discovered some amazing ceramic wall reliefs that had been fired in terracotta clay. It would be amazing to see futuristic Toy Hack creations presented in this kind of 3D format, possibly out of clay, wood or an alternative material such as 3D printed plastics.

Also on display was this wooden animal safari scene. It would be interesting to make hybrid Toy hack animal displays!

I like how this piece below has been set in the wooden frame;
