“EFFALO: think hyperglobally, act microlocally”
Michael will lead an informal show-and-tell of his work at EFFALO, ranging from Velosynth—a Kickstarter-funded bicycle interaction synthesizer, to MAKERFACTORY—a Craigslist-style distributed manufacturing service. He’ll have several hands-on prototypes to share, including a geodesic dome built from 3D-printed connectors and a brief music performance using mlrv, a software sampling instrument he designed in collaboration with /parallelogram/. The talk will conclude with some thoughts on process, a review of stimulating books to read, and some good ole’ Q+A.
Michael Felix is a design scientist concerned with the subtle interactions that occur between humans, nature, and technology. His interests lie more within the development of adaptive systems over pre-visualized concepts designed for aesthetics alone. This focus has grown from his attraction toward emergent processes—specifically the study of ecological systems and their effectiveness in gradually unfolding order and function. Through his work, he seeks to apply a similar living process towards the deployment of expressive frameworks that evolve form and behavior as a result of local context.
