e-Nable Italia – Experiments

Faire: Rome

Maker: Energy Family Project APS (e-Nable Italia)

 

Our community is dedicated to developing and providing free assistive devices for children and adults with limb difference problems. All of our projects are either open source derivatives or released by us (when original creations from our community) as open source. After SwimAble (the device for swimming, 2021) and the Bike Adapter (the device for cycling, 2022), this year we present the new ideas developed by our volunteers: the low-cost robotic hand prototypes and the devices that can help children to practice sports and in their free time, including an evolution of the bike adapters to be able to practice archery, a device that allows children with limb difference problems to play the drums and a tool for makers without 3d engineering skills that dynamically generates custom STL models of assistive devices adapted to the physical and anatomical characteristics of the recipients, to broaden accessibility to these devices.

Dataslip: The Digital Data Trail made Tangible

Faire: Delft

Maker: Alejandra Gomez Ortega

Home: Zuid-Holland, Nederland

As we navigate the physical and digital world, we unknowingly leave behind an immense trail of behavioral data (e.g., system logs). We are informed about this via short statements (e.g., cookie popups) or lengthy documents (e.g., privacy policies). However, even when we know that data is collected, we remain largely unaware of its nature. Data is highly personal. It contains and reveals information about us. Due to its ubiquitous nature, this information is abstract and opaque even to us. Dataslip is an interactive installation where the abstract notion of personal data is translated into a material and tangible representation in the form of a receipt.
