The 2nd international student media art festival RE/ACT took place in the beautiful town of Heidelberg (Though we didn’t get to see much of the place itself. ^^).

Among others, the exhibition showed works from my colleagues in the Digital Media Class. Outerspace by Andre and me was also there.

The photo set also features some pictures from the RFID workshop by Matt at the ZKM, the Centre for media and art in Karlsruhe and my colleagues hanging around there.

Outerspace had taken Andre and me to Dublin for Artbots 2005. Four great days of great fun amoung many crazy robots and humans.

Finally i did a more extensive research for my main interactive project at LCC, monitoring breathing of many people resp. hearing a building breathe.

These are methods of measuring (human) respiration in the most general sense:

With touch

1. Mouth airflow
by Spirometer

2. Nasal temperature probe
by thermistor

3. Acoustic
by stethoscope

4. Thoracic (chest) or abdominal (belly) expansion
by strap extension (e.g. using ultrasonic distance measurement)

Touchless

1. Acoustic
by ceiling dome microphone

2. Thermal
by infrared imaging

3. Capnographic
by measuring exhaled carbon dioxide
