Packing foam stands upright like a Renaissance bonnet
Packing foam, fruit mesh and plastic become bonnets, collars and drapery. Suzanne Jongmans does not hide these materials: she sculpts them, then photographs them like old textiles.

Nine resonators let recycled PLA colour the sound
Ninefold shreds discarded PLA, reprints it as large tuned forms and leaves its color and transparency variations visible. Recycled material becomes part of the acoustic behavior.
To make a dressmaking game, Dressmaker had to choose what not to simulate
Dressmaker keeps fabric choice, patterns, cutting and assembly, then compresses the repetitive hours. It shows how to translate a craft without reproducing everything.
A forest takes ten seconds to draw. The land keeps the last word
Replantio turns a polygon into a species shortlist using EcoCrop, ERA5, SoilGrids, WCVP and GBIF. Its value lies as much in its model as in the boundary it draws between screening and prescription.
A pen plotter can etch a 3D scene into an old CD case
Jordan Matelsky turns each point in a 3D scene into a reflective scratch. An old CD case, a sharp point and a light source create virtual depth.
Can a climbing guide outlive the app that displays it?
OpenClimbing 2.0 separates the guide from the service displaying it: OpenStreetMap for shared terrain, Wikimedia Commons for images, then a specialist climbing interface on top.
Remove the microprocessor and the CPU comes back into view
Gigatron replaces the microprocessor with a handful of 7400-series logic chips. The CPU stays visible while somehow also generating video, sound and a second virtual processor.
A resin vial and projector make volumetric 3D printing buildable
No layers, no supports: OpenCAL projects images into a spinning vial of resin and the whole part appears in minutes. A volumetric printer you can build from a Raspberry Pi 5 and a projector.
AI can write 150 reviews of a robot. It still cannot tighten the first bolt for you
A project for a child-sized humanoid triggered more than 150 AI review passes. The resulting repository is most interesting because it carefully documents what all that digital verification still fails to prove.
A rhythm-game guitar becomes a controller you can print, repair and modify
Polybar publishes printable parts, PCB files and build documentation for rhythm-game controllers built around 3D printing, custom electronics and Raspberry Pi Pico support.
