Arduino Code for Meas sensor

=====================================

//http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Knock

// knock act as a switch and turn the LED on and off

const int ledPin = 13; // led connected to digital pin 13

const int knockSensor = A0; // the piezo is connected to analog pin 0

const int threshold = 350; // threshold value to decide when the detected sound is a knock or not

int sensorReading = 0; // variable to store the value read from the sensor pin

int ledState = LOW; // variable used to store the last LED status, to toggle the light

void setup() {

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

//Serial.begin(9600);

}

void loop() {

sensorReading = analogRead(knockSensor);

if (sensorReading >= threshold) {

ledState = !ledState;

digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);

//Serial.println("Knock!");

}

delay(2000); // delay to avoid overloading the serial port buffer

[Research] wearable home

Being an islander from a small island, lived with the shadow of political conflicts, self doubts, and identity crisis. I am fascinated by the expression of a nomadic, wandering , and wearable home. The concept of fashion as a shelter and safe haven, or wearing a " Final home" as a piece of garment is both architectural, and human. It resonates to my childhood and young adulthood experience which shaped my world views.

There were a couple projects that speaks to social issues and political and body awareness that I go back and look at over and over:

Final Home by 津村耕佑 / Kousuke Tsumura

“If I were to lose my home because of a disaster, war, or loss of job, what kind of clothes would I, as a fashion designer, offer? And what would such clothes look like in good times?”

Nomadic Mosque by Azra Aksamija

"The Nomadic Mosque can thus be seen as a minimal-volume mosque, whose design is based on individual needs and experiences of the worshipper. It is a device to transform any secular space into a prayer space. Not only does the wearable mosque accommodate the liturgical necessities, but also acts as a prosthetic device of the worshipper communicating his/her prayers: problems, needs and desires. "

A short talk at LISA salon curated by Tanya Toft about a Leprosy Village in Taiwan, a few things about being a young film students, raves parties, the Walk In Shelter project, and media arts that makes social change or make people happy.
