Chip F(r)ic is a project-thesis in the form of an interactive f(r)iction:
As a reader you will be invited to explore the publication in whichever format that speaks to you.
The tension between a DIY beginner kit and an in-depth, ultra specialiazed "you-don't-need-to-know-this-much" version.
The intentions of this project are to:
- lower the learning threshold of learning DIY electronics
- show the process - what happens after the entry point
- explore the possibility of another type of beginner DIY electronics kit: in the form of an interactive fiction that focuses on 1 particular chip as the main character
The urgency to make this project came out of the following frustrations:
- digital designer working in the commercial field and the gradual dilution of creativity (and concentration of standardization, optimization
- the plethora of entry points but up to the point where it can be overwhelming
- finding an entry point that speaks to you
This project could be of interest to you if:
- you need an escape from the Creative Cloud
- you are curious about how an IC chip works
- you are at the threshold between a beginner kit and a datasheet
- you tried Arduino out but
- you want to try a different way of making/tinkering (thinking with your hands)
