Rob Phillips (rdphillips.co.uk ) and I ran a stall at Brighton Mini Maker Faire 2012 asking visitors about their experiences with instructions, and how to make them better. Instructions are important to the Maker movement - following what others have done is often what helps people get into making, but the quality, style and assumed level of knowledge can vary significantly (there are parallels with documentation issues in open source software).
Our Maker Faire activity included asking visitors to create their own instructions for someone else - either how to make a cup of tea, or how to make fire. Thanks to Rob's expertise in the latter area, we had a bow drill and lots of different possible materials to experiment with, although of course we couldn't actually let people light any fires in the hall, so a hastily-conceived Arduino blinking a random pattern of red, yellow and orange LEDs had to suffice.
Once we've read through all the postcards people very kindly (and enthusiastically) filled in, we'll be able to extract some insights - from a preliminary look through, it's clear there's a mix of very visual and text-based preferences, with some interesting combinations, and some people basically not liking following instructions at all. And, very wonderfully, an instruction video filmed and uploaded to YouTube on the spot.
Keep an eye on rdphillips.co.uk and danlockton.co.uk for the results of the exercise - and thanks to everyone who took part, and helped, including the brilliant volunteers from the Maker Faire organisers.

Project Description:
Social Circles intends to partially reveal the social networks that emerge in mailing lists. The idea was to visualize in near real-time the social hierarchies and the main subjects they address. When subscribing to a mailing you never know who the principals are, how many people are listening or what subjects they are talking about. It's like entering a meeting room with plenty of people in the darkness and then having to learn who is who by just listening to their voices.
Social Circles does not pretend to be a statistical application, but rather aims to raise the lights in that room just enough to let you enhance your perception of what's happening. At a glance it allows an easy way of grasping the whole situation by highlighting who is participating, who is "visually" central to that group, and displaying the topics everyone is talking about. How does the list structure itself? Is it moderated? Is it chaotic?

Mapping Mainz. Ein innovatives und interaktives Stadtportrait für Mainz
Mainz und seine Anrainer-Vororte werden auf künstlerische und innovativer Weise neu vorgestellt.
Wie sehen Mainzer, Besucher und Touristen die Gutenbergstadt Mainz? Fest verankert im Mainzer Leben sind die vielen gut dokumentierten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt und ihrer Geschichte. Aber Mainz hat noch viel mehr zu bieten. Sehenswürdigkeiten ganz anderer Art werden in dem Projekt des Masterstudiengangs Gutenberg Intermedia dem Betrachter und Leser vorgestellt. Zehn wenig bekannte Orte und leise Monumente werden in der Arbeit „Mapping Mainz – ein fragmentarisches Stadtportrait“ individuell auf ihre Geschichte, Eigenheiten und mögliche Zukunft portraitiert.
Jeder Ort steht für einen der zehn Stadtteile von Mainz und der AKK-Gemeinden, die direkt am Rhein liegen. So wird das ehemalige Eislager der Mainzer Brauerei in Weisenau, die grüne Brücke der Neustadt einer Streichholzfabrik in Amöneburg gegenüber gestellt. Dabei entstehen detaillierte, mit Bild, Video und Tonaufnahmen kommentierte Stadtportraits, die stille und versunkene Orten zum Strahlen bringen.
Basierend auf der situationistischen Idee des Dérives, des ungeplanten Umherschweifens durch urbane Räume und einer künstlerischen Methodik, haben die Studierenden für sie unbekannte Orte in Mainz und Umgebung aufgesucht und sich diese durch intensive Recherche angeeignet. So haben sie Zeit- und kunstgeschichtlichen Merkmale des Ortes erforscht, seine Gegenwart ausgelotet und schließlich ihren gefundenen Ort gestalterisch neu interpretiert und mit Zukunftsvisionen versehen. Ihre jeweiligen ortsspezifischen Analysen haben sie anschließend in zwei medial unterschiedlichen Ausführungen – einer großformatigen Siebdruckarbeit und einer interaktiven Website – zu dem psychogeografischen Stadtportrait „Mapping Mainz“ zusammengeführt. Fragmente aus Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft in Bild und Ton – bilden hier eine einzigartige Sammlung, die sich je nach Sichtweise zu ortsbezogenen Chroniken verdichtet.
Während die 7 x 7 m große Siebdruckarbeit dem Betrachter einen ersten Überblick über die gesammelten Ortserkundungen vermittelt, ermöglicht die Website www.mappingmainz.hs-mainz.de dem Betrachter ein interaktives Erleben dieser urbanen Räume und lässt ihn auf eindrucksvolle Weise den Vorgang des Umherschweifen durch interaktives Erforschen nachvollziehen. Überraschende und vielschichtige Informationen und Interpretationen kann der Betrachter in dem Online-Archiv zu jedem Ort nachlesen und sich akustisch auf die Orte und ihre spezifischen Geräusche einlassen. Zu sehen und zu erleben waren die Arbeiten vom 9. – 12. Mai 2015 in der Aula auf dem Campus der Hochschule Mainz, Lucy-Hillebrand-Strasse. Individuelle Fragmente der Installation wurden als limitierte Siebdruckedition zusammengefasst.
Grundlegendes Thema der Master-Projekts war die Ideenfindung für eine Gestaltung der Zukunft. In die Vergangenheit zu blicken bedarf eines bedachten, analytischen Blicks. Sich die Zukunft zu denken, ist weit weniger klar zu definieren. Die Herausforderung für die Projektgruppe in dieser Studienarbeit war es auf den fundierten Kenntnissen und Fakten, die die Trend- und Zukunftsanalysen vorgeben hinaus, individuelle Lösungen für Orte in Mainz zu finden. Dabei wurden gesellschaftliche, sozio-ökonomische, technische und gestalterische Aspekte an den Orten angewandt und durch szenische Dialoge ergänzt. So wurde jedem Ort und Stadtteil am Rhein eine mögliche Zukunft projiziert. Der Blick kann mit Hilfe der Website und der zahlreichen Artefakte, die für das Projekt zusammengetragen wurden, von der Gegenwart und Vergangenheit des Ortes in die Zukunft getragen werden. Über fiktive Monologe und dokumentarische Tonaufnahmen für und von den Orten werden Mainzer Monumente auch auditiv aufbereitet.
Intermedial und interdisziplinär manifestiert sich das Projekt als gestalterisches Realisierungsprojekt. Das Zusammenspiel von analogen und digitalen Medien, also von Siebdruck, Grafiken, Zeichnungen und Infografiken mit animierten Grafiken, Video- und Tonaufnahmen auf einer interaktiven Website zusammengefasst, bilden den Kern der Projektinnovation. Die verschiedenen Anforderungen der Medien in einem ganzheitlichen Gefüge zusammen zu bringen, ist bei dem Projekt „Mapping Mainz“ hervorragend gelungen.

Random Lines
Automatisierte Zeichenmaschinen
Wer sich letzte Woche im Foyer der Holzstraße über die miteinanderverzahnten raumgreifenden Scheiben wunderte, dem wird an dieser Stelle nun die Auflösung geboten: Bei dem beeindruckenden, aber arachisch wirkenden Konstrukt handelte sich um eine automatisierte Zeichenmaschine, die mit Little-Bits-Komponenten gebaut wurde und grafische Markierungen auf Papier hinterlässt. Littlebits wiederum sind elektronische Bausteine, die magnetisch mit einander verbunden variable Lösungen ermöglichen. Input- und Outputmodule werden durch Stromzufuhr, Regler und Sensoren ergänzt und ermöglichen so ohne Programmierung individuelle Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten. Das Seminar »Random Lines« unter der Leitung von Prof. Anna-Lisa Schönecker und Benjamin Knichel nutzt Littlebits um eigenwillige Maschinen zu konstruieren, die automatisierte Zeichenserien erstellen.
