Hackness Grange is a Georgian country house, converted into a hotel. The building was originally built in 1822, and expanded in 1890. The hall was designed by Peter Atkinson Snr for Sir John Vanden-Bempde-Johnstone (1799–1869), 2nd Baronet of Hackness Hall.
From 8-10 May, 2015, Waag Society and The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision hosted the first of six Europeana Space hackathons. This was the main objective: come up with appealing ideas and applications to bring the rich archive of digitized European cultural heritage to the public.
The Europeana Space Project seeks prove that digitized cultural heritage material can be used in creative ways, and new business and sustainability models can be developed around these innovations.
DIY Hacks
Engineering at Home
Sara Hendren and Caitrin Lynch
2016
71-year-old Cindy lost the full use of her limbs following complications from a severe heart attack. While waiting for her new robotic prosthetic, Cindy improvised 'object hacks' to help her with everyday tasks that she now found impossible. These adaptations to the most commonly used objects in her home allowed her to hold cutlery, play cards, brush her teeth, read the newspaper and much more.
Design educators Sara Hendren and Caitrin Lynch documented Cindy's hacks 'to illustrate new ways of understanding who can engineer, what counts as engineering, and this matters'. The project reminds us that the best innovations are not necessarily high-tech, and that technologies are valuable for their social function or ability to empower us, not just for their precision or sleek appearance.

I've dremel'd the case to let the YBox2 stick out (you didn't think it was gonna fit inside, did you??). I'll be fabricating a cover for this later. Something to think about when you do the same: the LED needs to stick out and you should build a surface that will reflect onto the IR sensor if you plan to use it.
DISCLAIMER: This WILL void your warranty, you CAN screw this up and I WON'T be responsible if you do. You've been warned. Proceed at your own risk.

Back of Hack. This is the view from my office of the hack on the Great Dome. I only get to see the back of the hacks. There were two hacks up in Killian Court and the Great Dome on May 18th. The Lunar Lander reached the Great Dome and the goddess Athena is overseeing construction of the commencement platform.
