Loving the Gigahand Dreams long form interview podcast atm. It’s a nice intersection between tech/art/education/making, from Jay Silver who is one of the people who created the Makey Makey. Last , who makes these big crazy tech art contraptions eg, an instrument for Björk and a 5 player pinball machine to teach the ideas behind economics. Some highlights from it: • “How to make things you don’t know how to make” - prototype a lot! And be relentless about it - “prolific prototyping” and “discovery orientated design” • Mouse in a maze types ◦ The specialist - can run one specific maze, really quickly ◦ The generalist - has the fortitude to wander many mazes, but not quickly ◦ The prototyper - can run unfamiliar mazes quickly, solve unfamiliar problems • Telharmonium - the first electronic music streaming service made using giant organs and the telephone switch board • He’s created a curriculum for teaching his prototyping process that he has developed over the years, and takes you through algos, maths, electronics, physics, using making tools and programming - which sounds amazing! Too bad I ain’t in NYC though.
