clemens winkler | digital traces

I want to work more internal in material such like weaving fabrics in university manufacture.

The technics are the results of thoughts and learning about skins. I want to use carbon fibres and thermochromic pigments for using in special structures.
Bring the units in epoxy and canvas layers;

I want to investigate time to public my results and present it!

,.It is hard to elaborate upon which aspects without further testing, since the different techniques are highly connected with the overall aesthetic.
Therefore it is also a way of thinking and a way of working. It should definitely not be regarded as a first prototype of a commercial product.
The design examples imply that the results, like thoughts, reflections and learning, could have been very different, if we had chosen to do other examples (a dilemma quite hard to disregard if you are doing research through design).

I think that computer technology should involve new or more alternative ways for how it can be used. It is often used just to control things, but it can also expose, create and be controlled by. In my works I used lots of batteries. In further work a better power management should be investigated;)

Thanks to my scribble book! Inside there are many of circuit designs, patterns and other traces of use!

in the web are most 0f instructions to build your own smart textile;) !

universities- where I am finding project blogs
the RCA London - interactional studies
the UDK Berlin- digitale Klasse

This example shows where I was going and in which speed- a kind of motion path;

In october I visit the materialica in munich to adept new characteristics of smart materials.

and some extravagant surfaces like..
..some textiles processed with deep drawing

some felt compounds;

memory foam;

I was exploring the traces I left in my surroundings.
My marks memorize the past in its own way.

To differ the nature/ our ambience there are established terms- the first and second nature. The first is the wildest untouched one- free of human traces.
The second nature is formed by human as a shared cultivated landscape.
