=== Self-Publishing as poetic practice: DIY Compact ===
Mara Genschel, Karin Lingnau 
at exMedia Lab
==== Time table ====

02.-06. February 2026 
11:00 - 17:00 (+ open end) 
Friday: presentation
 
 

=== About dummies and first steps ===
mockup, model, simulation, test, proposition ... 
different dummies for different purposes 
* formal aspects/ physical representation 
** format
** material
** layout
** page count (multiples of 4)
** style
** ....
--> regarding overall appearance and haptic
 

* conceptual aspects
** content-related
** textual
** layout in regard to content
** message conveyed by the content
--> regarding construct of an idea in connection to format and overall appearance
 
 
* aspects of layout
** order/ sequences of the content
** fluidity/ flow
** length/ amount of content
** relation between image and text and graphics
** relation between blank and filled pages
** spaces on a page in general
** pacing (pages and spread)
** if necessary: plot and dramaturgy
** questions of illustration/ font/ style/ design
** ...
--> regarding overall appearance of the content and the publication
 
 
A dummy can be used in every step of the process, but does not necessarily have to be translated into individual physical outputs. Depends on what you need and if you can combine certain aspects. In general creating a physical implementation helps to clarify and refine your idea.
 
 
idea --> storyboard/ moodboard/ sequence --> tests/ proof --> print/ build/ do --> publish

Tufting

2026-01-07T17:02:17Z

Karin:

overview page [[Machines_and_Technologies_@our_labs | machines and technologies@our labs]] 
 

 
Tufting is a carpet (or textile) making technique that uses a special gun. This gun shoots loops of yarn/ wool through the mesh fabric, allowing to create textures, patterns, pieces of carpet.
 
 

At the moment we have the colors pink, red, black, orange.
Our tufting gun is a KRD 1 cut and loop.
You'll find the model and information online, eg [https://tufting.co/products/krd-i-cut-loop-pile-tufting-gun here].
one example for a [https://tuftingshop.com/ tufting shop], where you'll also find material, other guns etc.
 
 
If you need some first glimpse into the technique, online you will find a lot of information and tutorials, eg here is a short and simple one on youtube with the title "How to tuft: For Beginners". As youtube is blocked on this wiki, you have to type in the last letters into the youtube-search field: kMJ6SgcWkxc

 
If you would like to learn tufting, you can get an introduction in the exmedia lab.
 
 
some first [[OpenLab-23-24#.2319.12.23 | impressions]]
 
more information is following soon, with some links, basic information etc

Two Workshops by Camilo Sandoval 
 
January, 19th 2026
 
Multi-threaded conversations
 
 
January, 23rd, 26th 2026
 
Control Freak

 
 

=== Workshop 1, Multi-threaded conversations ===

Duration: two sessions (4 hours each) 
Dates: 19.01.2026, full day 
Materials: wool, cardboard and hands 


 
[[Datei:SeilMeister.jpg|gerahmt|zentriert|Image taken from „Wie man ein Seil macht“, from Sabine Hoeth – SWR, in the video: Bernhard Muffler]]
 
Following the example of the “círculos de palabra” (word circles) we will exchange thoughts and stories that we will weave into an object. Based on several handcraft techniques, we are going to twist, braid, and loom ropes together. Each rope is the materialization of an algorithm and the vessel of a narration. All hands will be working rhythmically in a collective choreography, harmonized to the sound of our words. 
This is a hands-on-workshop that emphasizes on group storytelling, as a way to escape individualism. 
We will have the common goal of making a “Warak'a” (Andean sling) and a “Chumbe” (belt). 
No previous knowledge is needed.

 
Here some examples of the objects we will do:


[[Datei:ReplicaWarakaRosaGarcia.jpg|mini|zentriert|Replica of a Warak'a by Rosa García, 2024]]
[[Datei:ChumbeCamentsa.jpg|mini|zentriert|Chumbe Camëntsá, author unknown]]

 

Here some examples of my recent work:

[[Datei:MochilaRoja.jpg|mini|zentriert|Mochila Roja, Camilo Sandoval - 2026]]
[[Datei:MochilaMazorca.jpg|mini|zentriert|Mochila Mazorca, Camilo Sandoval - 2025]]
[[Datei:MochilaSerpientes.jpg|mini|zentriert|Mochila Nido de Serpientes, Camilo Sandoval - 2025]]

 
 
=== Workshop 2, Control Freak ===

Duration: three sessions (4 hours each) 
Dates: 23.01.2026, half day - 26.01.2026, full day 
Materials: ESP32, cables, buttons, resistors, potentiometers, cases 


 
[[Datei:ControladorRataAzul.jpg|gerahmt|zentriert|Controlador Rata Azul, Camilo Sandoval - 2022]]
 
Why leave anything to chance if we can control everything?! Computer autonomy? NO thanks. We will control image, sound, VR, 3D, IRL installations, etc. all in real-time! Control, control, ctrl. 
We will learn how to build and program our own MIDI/OSC controllers using open source software and hardware. 
From selecting a case, through soldering together buttons, knobs and other inputs, to establishing a communication protocol; all the basics of DIY electronics will be covered and each one will go home with a functional device.
In the end, it is all just an excuse to build funky, freaky, playful and personalized electronics. :) Let's have fun in building custom made electronics to fit each one's artistic needs. 
No previous knowledge is requiered but it helps out if you have already soldered or programmed a bit.
 

Here some examples of some past controllers:
