Dataconomy is another asset for forthcoming information researchers. It includes the typical huge information news and tech slants just as articles from industry specialists. In any case, what separates is from different information science centre points is its assets for structure a profession in information science. .

I'm moving to a new city where I don't know anyone, so I'm Strategizing about how to make friends. Apparently the trick is to go to a place and hang out regularly? Anyway, I have some potential places.

The Makerspace

Apparently Expunged has a markerspace! This seems particularly promising as a friend finding place, because it should have a lot of people who like doing crafts? And it's also [wiggle hands] low pressure. I can bring a project, and if I talk to someone, that's great, and if I don't, I'll at least have made progress on the project.

And seeing as I'll be living in a small rented apartment, it'd be nice to have access to a space where it is chill if I paint, and I can access a printer I can put my own paper in.

The one downside is that it has a fairly high membership fee.

The Warhammer Store

I didn't really paint minis much during the pandemic, because I mostly painted at my local store, and, well [gestures at lockdowns and social distancing]

But I'll have a new local store I can paint at! It might not be as good as my old one, but still! And like the makerspace, I can just chill and work on my minis.

Alas, while it doesn't have a membership fee like the makerspace [gestures at Warhams prices]

Pathfinder Adventurer Society

Pathfinder! Where it doesn't matter if I have to miss a session because it's all drop in and drop out! Roleplaying! Socialisation!

A knitting/sewing/crochet/etc club

It would be so good if I could find evidence of one of these existing!

A queer club

Ditto! (Facebook has evidence of drag shows happening in Expunged, which is very cool but not quite what I'm looking for!)

Step 3: Brainstorm Ideas

IDEA 2: Immersive Room Space

Taking inspiration from the TeamLabs Tokyo interactive technology, using the 'Markerspace' area seen on the map would be a creative and unique use of that space.

I went to Japan with my sister in 2019 before COVID started, for about 10 days. In these five days we wanted to fit in the best things to do in Japan. We landed on teamLabs and spent the day going through these rooms where you immerse your body within the environment and take in the three-dimensional world. 

In doing this at Northshore, I would introduce aspects of Indigenous life and culture.

Final Project Process (Part 2)

In the past few weeks, I still focus on my final project. The goal of this project is to create an interface between p5.js and Arduino. Before this, I have shown the work of p5.js. Although the interface I made and the original idea were not completely the same, it also worked very well. 

What I have updated:

In the sketch in p5.js, I added a photo to replace the original color option, and later I will add the same image to my TFT board. 

Arduino wire setting 

Find the graphic test in Manage Libraries

Add pic on the microSD card

Add “imageread” in Manage Libraries(make sure the size of pic)

pic of arduino:

What I need to work on:

Solder all pins for reliable electrical contact (MarkerSpace)

Do the graphic test

File→examples→Adafruit ImageReader Library→BreakoutST7735→160x128 example.

Write code for loop pic (Code Referenced: Scott’s example)

Question:

Is there have any ways to contact the p5.js to the arduino? or maybe just create a video for this project?

AI for Real Estate

In a one of its kind initiative, Provident Housing, a Puravankara Company, has announced the integration of AI for Real Estate, by introducing its two very own robots – Mitra and Mitri. The company inked a deal with Bangalore-based Invento Markerspaces Pvt. Ltd., to bring the integration of technology with real estate, and more importantly take a giant leap in the delivery of superior customer experience. These bots were introduced to the public at our very popular Bengaluru Home Habba, 13th – 15th July at Sindoor Convention centre, near JP Nagar Metro Station. The Bots are to be the 1st touch point of all visitors to the Bengaluru Home Habba and handle visitor management system.

AI for Real Estate

The entry of AI, comes as a great starting point for Provident to augment its technologically adept business strategy. The bots will be the first customer touchpoint for data acquiring, storing and analytics. Using voice and touch panel enabled data capture. When a customer interacts with the robotic interface, data is moved into the Customer Relation Management System, Sales Force, thereby creating direct, correct and more importantly insightful data. This in turn will translate into a more relevant and faster turnaround of customer enquiries and improved customer engagement with deeper customer insight

Interface Week 5 – Physical Interface (Part 2)

This week we are continuing with last week’s assignment — create a physical mouse for our computer interface. I made a mouse using a 3D printer according to my last week’s ideas. The biggest challenge for me in this design is to build a complete 3D model, because I have no previous experience. I did a tutorial with student assistant Gabriella and she helped me a lot. Then my friend Mengmeng also gave me many suggestions. With their help, I used Rhino to complete my work.

Last week I divided the mouse into two parts, each part can be rotated by the user to input letters in the computer. After discussing with Gabriella, she suggested that I make the mouse into three parts to make it easier for the user to rotate the mouse. Then, I drew a sketch of the mouse again and divided it into three parts. The first part is the bottom of the mouse with letters from A to M on it, and the second part is the top of the mouse with letters from N to z. The last part of the model is very small and is the support part of the entire mouse in the button.

Finally, I rebuilt the 3D model in Rhino. I trained in 3D printing in the school's Markerspace and made this mouse. In the process of making 3D models, the tutor there also told me a lot of knowledges about 3D printing. The whole design process is very interesting to me, although my work does not look perfect. But since it was my first time to make 3D models and prints, I really enjoyed the whole design process.

Here is my sketch:

Questioni di ceramica e DNA. Paolelli

Prendi per Monteverde, gira su via di Bravetta, tutta a sinistra, curvone. Alla piazza a sinistra e poi giù in fondo su via Antonio Sogliano fino a che non finisce la strada. Se sei di Roma e fai ceramica questo percorso è familiare.  

I Paolelli non puoi non conoscerli, il loro nome rimane impresso nella mente a chiare lettere fin dalle prime volte che tocchi la creta. Noi abbiamo iniziato a lavorare la ceramica che eravamo ancora ragazzi (sigh.), occhio e croce era il 2005, un Medico in famiglia era appena alla quarta stagione e in California quell’anno veniva fondato Youtube. Conti alla mano sono dodici anni che conosciamo Paolelli. Lo chiamiamo così, non è che diciamo “Vado un attimo da Paolelli, passione ceramica”. Dici: “Vado da Paolelli”. E io capisco che Renato rimarrà fuori buona parte della mattinata fra le chiacchiere e l’atmosfera lenta e sorniona di via Sogliano.

Oggi parliamo della famiglia Paolelli, uno dei nostri fornitori più importanti con una straordinaria storia sulle spalle che ci siamo fatti raccontare da loro.

Un coworking nel 1956 

Il maestro Ugo Paolelli è alto, gentile e affabile, di poche parole, modesto. E’ un punto di riferimento per la ceramica, autore di libri, insegnante, grande conoscitore della materia, ha collaborato con alcuni dei grandi artisti italiani.

La prima cosa che gli chiediamo è come ha iniziato.

“Ha iniziato mio padre, Orfeo Paolelli. Era segretario dell’Istituto d’Arte di Civita Castellana. Conosceva i maestri più bravi. Un giorno, quando ha deciso di aprire una bottega, si è avvalso delle conoscenze dei migliori professori. Anche io sono nato a Civita Castellana e ho sempre fatto ceramica” prosegue Ugo, “quando nel 1956 ci siamo trasferiti a Roma, oltre all’attività di ceramisti, abbiamo dato vita ad una attività commerciale vendendo materiali, facendo cotture conto terzi e mettendo a disposizione gratuitamente conoscenze e spazi a chiunque volesse cimentarsi con la ceramica”.

Sorpresa, stupore, disorientamento. Ma i coworking e markerspace non sono un’invenzione dei nostri tempi?! Non sono nati con l’arrivo delle stampanti 3d e delle macchine a taglio laser?!!!

Pare di no perché “L’idea è stata quella di mettere a disposizione di artisti, hobbisti, apprendisti un laboratorio organizzato e attrezzato in grado di supportare tutte le fasi della lavorazione, con specialisti disponibili a dispensare consigli, consulenza o semplicemente a dare una mano”.

Gli chiedo dei suoi primi lavori in ceramica e lui mi racconta di un premio prestigioso ricevuto dal Comune di Roma in occasione della sua prima mostra a 22 anni. Mi parla degli artisti con cui ha collaborato, da nomi meno noti per arrivare, ad esempio, a Leoncillo, di certi impasti fatti per lui seguendo le ricette dettate dall’artista.

Di padre in figlio

La passione per la ceramica è una di quelle cose che facilmente si trasmette di generazione in generazione. Così dopo Orfeo, ecco che ad Ugo è subentrato Luca. Si sa, le cose per andare lontano hanno bisogno di ambienti in cui incubarsi e crescere, dove attingere da mani più esperte, per familiarizzare da subito con un linguaggio fatto di ricette e strane alchimie.

Luca ha ereditato molto: una storia iniziata con una bottega di Civita Castellana e arrivata in una città dove della ceramica non c’era una vera tradizione. Luca ci scherza sopra, dicendo che gli toccano le scartoffie, ma poi ci mostra un bozzetto in cui si intravede la tecnica e anche una certa inclinazione verso l’architettura, la facoltà a cui aveva pensato prima di farsi carico dell’azienda di famiglia.

Oggi le sue figlie quando arrivano in negozio corrono a prendere la creta. E non può essere diversamente, questione di DNA.

Passione o professione

Da Paolelli, oltre ad acquistare le materie prime come facciamo noi, si può imparare a fare ceramica, acquisendo tecniche e segreti, scoprendone tutte le infinite potenzialità.

Ad Ugo chiediamo se, in una città come Roma, non vocata a questo tipo di artigianato, chi viene ad imparare poi diventa un professionista in grado di trasformare la passione in un lavoro.

“Alcuni studenti passano alla professione, ma sono pochi. Chi segue i nostri corsi in genere sceglie di continuare a fare ceramica per hobby qui, con noi, perché è bello continuare a fare ceramica insieme. Questo posto è diventato un po’ un punto di incontro per molti appassionati. L’interesse e l’attrazione verso la ceramica, da un punto di vista hobbistico, sono cresciute moltissimo a Roma”.

Ma perché allora, ci chiediamo, la ceramica è bella ed appassiona tanto?

“Perché è fra le prime forme d’arte che l’umanità abbia sperimentato” ci spiega Ugo “perché è una materia plastica gradevole da modellare e da manipolare che con il fuoco diventa indeformabile. Quando dai ad un bambino un pezzo di creta si diverte subito. E’ immediato. Comincia subito a buttare fuori quello che ha dentro. La passione per la ceramica non finirà presto, viene da molto lontano e andrà ancora lontanissimo”.

Ringraziamo tutta la famiglia Paolelli per questa bellissima chiacchierata piena di emozioni, ricordi e voglia di continuare a trasmettere la passione per la ceramica.

Un saluto a Giuseppe! :)
