Just posted a new twitter bot example with a function that gets the latest tweet from a user as a string. And retweets it. It is the example called followRetweet in the github repository here.
As the event of our original field trip remains unannounced, instead we will go on a class field trip to the upcoming Facets conference at NYU. This will be the saturday after our last class.
This conference is a 2 day event that explores computation and creative practice. You are welcome to attend the whole thing if you wish, but the field trip is to attend the 3 panel sessions from 2pm – 5pm on Saturday May 2nd.
The event requires you to travel to Brooklyn and book tickets here:

Sorry about the hacky start to arduino. You will get the hang of it. I found the mistake in our 3 color LED so please review the updated tutorial.
Read through the tutorial and try out any of the exercises we didn’t get to today.
Also for primers on electricity – grab some popcorn and see the video tutorials, they are short and sweet and help to get the gist of circuits.
(If you want more, you can try some of the arduino examples and take a look at the corresponding circuits in Fritzing. )
If you are keen for even more help… see this handy introductory textbook.
Remember to send me the link to your chosen blog post and also submit a text version to Turn It In on Moodle. There is a link in the section for this week for our class. It is there now.
See you tomorrow.
Some links from Lauren, and if you haven’t already seen her website, it is here.
Then she also mentioned artist Amalia Ulmans who has built an Instagram account as conceptual art project with a huge following. Her website is here and here is an explanation of the piece in this article.
Ulmans follows in the footsteps of artist Lynne Hershman Leeson who famously created a work where she conceived of, constructed and ‘developed’ a fictional persona and alter ego: that of Roberta Breitmore from 1974-1978.
I will follow up on other links from the talk.
Remember, I am always adding artist examples to the tumblr blog here. So peruse them for ideas and inspiration.
I have also sorted out our twitter so please send me your handles if you haven’t already. I also post articles and bits and pieces relevant to class there. Will also retweet any juicy/thought provoking/inspiring links you tag that are relevant to our class. Follow along and see our fancy sidebar ——> ——–> ——->
And thank you Julie for this fab banner for this week’s assignment – good luck everyone!
Some food for thought for tomorrow’s discussion in this list of technologies that aim to decentralize.
