Codeable Objects is a library for processing that allows people to design and build objects using geometry and programing. Geometric computation offers a host of powerful design techniques, but its use is limited to individuals with a significant amount of programming experience or access to complex design software. In contrast, Codeable Objects allows a range of people, including novice coders, designers, and artists to rapidly design, customize, and construct an artifact using geometric computation and digital fabrication. The programming methods provided by the library allow the user to program a wide range of structures and designs with simple code and geometry. When users compile their code, the software outputs tool paths based on their specifications, which can be used in conjunction with digital fabrication tools to build their objects.

An exploration into the possibilities for individual construction and customization of the most ubiquitous of electronic devices, the cellphone. By creating and sharing open-source designs for the phone's circuit board and case, we hope to encourage a proliferation of personalized and diverse mobile phones. Freed from the constraints of mass production, we plan to explore diverse materials, shapes, and functions. We hope that the project will help us explore and expand the limits of do-it-yourself (DIY) practice. How close can a homemade project come to the design of a cutting-edge device? What are the economics of building a high-tech device in small quantities? Which parts are even available to individual consumers? What's required for people to customize and build their own devices?

We are exploring the methods by which traditional artisans construct new electronic technologies using contextually novel materials and processes, incorporating wood, textiles, reclaimed and recycled products, as well as conventional circuitry. Such artisanal technologies often address different needs, and are radically different in form and function than conventionally designed and produced products.

The LilyTiny is a small sewable breakout board for ATtiny85 microcontrollers–devices which may be integrated into circuits to enable pre-determined interactions such as lights that flash or areas that can sense touch. The circuit board can be pre-loaded with a program, enabling students to incorporate dynamic behaviors into e-textile projects without having to know how to program microcontrollers.

We offer case studies in the ways that digital fabrication allows us to treat the designs of products as a kind of source code: files that can be freely shared, modified, and produced. In particular, the case studies combine traditional electronic circuit boards and components (a mature digital fabrication process) with laser-cut or 3D printed materials. They demonstrate numerous possibilities for individual customizations both pre- and post-fabrication, as well as a variety of potential production and distribution processes and scales.

Sticky Circuits is toolkit for creating electronics using circuit board stickers. Circuit stickers are created by printing traces on flexible substrates and adding conductive adhesive. These lightweight, flexible, and sticky circuit boards allow us to begin sticking interactivity onto new spaces and interfaces such as clothing, instruments, buildings, and even our bodies.
