Ink & Switch London: Building new tools for Science
Talks /
The Ink & Switch team hosted a social this month at ARIA. Two of my favourite talks focused on how much of our tooling still falls short of supporting real thought.
The first one was a mindblowing demo by Marcel Goethals on Programmable Ink, which showed how powerful it could be to merge the immediacy and fluidity of writing/skectching with embedded computation. A medium that’s as tangible as pen and paper yet dynamic enough to simulate, transform, and respond.
The second talk on material programming by Agnes Cameron touched upon the idiosyncrasies of knit as a medium and discussed the possibility of knitting software that remains malleable and works with and for knitters with varying degrees of expertise.
