Andy Sigler

Anode is an ensemble of toys, instruments, and objects, hacked and made wireless, to allow their interconnections to be played with.

Description

Anode is a collection of found objects turned connected, each simple on their own, but reimagined through their links. Homemade wireless microcontrollers are built for each device, done at a fraction of the cost of ordering online . A touch interface allows users to patch links between separate objects, using any browser. Combining affordable production with easy links gives way for heightened experimentation while making the internet of everything.
