Liefde is een scheldwoord

Faire: Delft

Maker: Ezra Sanders

Home: Zuid-Holland, Nederland

Het studentenhuis is een wereld die bekendstaat om haar tradities, haar hiërarchie, haar geslotenheid. Van buitenaf roept die geslotenheid vaak weerstand op: wat valt er te verbergen? Maar van binnenuit voelt ze anders. Ze vormt een sociale structuur die zowel houvast als druk geeft, waarin vriendschap en onderwerping soms naadloos in elkaar overlopen. Door zijn lens probeert Ezra vast te leggen wat hij zelf heeft beleefd en bevraagd: hoe verhoudt een individu zich tot een cultuur die hem zowel draagt als vormt? Waar ligt de grens tussen steun en conformisme? De hiërarchie die de groep structuur geeft, kan zowel onderdrukkend als beschermend zijn. De rituelen die een gemeenschap definiëren, kunnen zowel dwingend als verbindend werken. Hij probeert een wereld in beelden te vangen die vaak in clichés wordt gevat. Niet om haar te verklaren of te verdedigen, maar om zichtbaar te maken wat normaal verborgen blijft.

Baxterbots

Faire: Happy Valley

Maker: Dan Baxter

Home: Pennsylvania, United States

My work explores the deconstruction of antiques and their transformation into robotic art. This project, RustyBot, combines vintage materials with modern electronics to create a robot that moves, lights up, and speaks. At its core is a Raspberry Pi controlling servos, sound and music hats, NeoPixel LEDs, and solenoids, all integrated through custom-designed PCB boards. A built-in wireless access point and webpage allow visitors to control the robot’s sounds, lights, and movements in real time. Much of the coding was developed with the assistance of ChatGPT, blending human creativity with AI collaboration. Alongside the finished robot, I will also display a working prototype rig that exposes the wiring, components, and code, making the inner workings transparent and easy to understand
