In a near future, all fish will be gone; as a consequence, a few species, formerly fishes' natural preys such as Jellyfish, will take over the waters leaving no other solution for the people than to learn and develop ways of gathering, dealing with and eating them.

Cities near the shoreline are subjected to increasingly stronger tide cycles and in a few years time all urban landscape will blend with the seascape, with cities being completely flooded for hours, several times a day.

As a local workaround for these issues, a group of Foragers developed devices - traps, instruments, etc - to help hunt and deal with Jellyfishes, thus making them a considerable part of their everyday diet.

Developed in collaboration with Luiza P. Supervised by Gunnar Green and Willy Segenwald.

Music listening habits change with technology. Nowadays, one faces the dialectics between more music getting to more people more fast, and a general smaller attention span for music, the so-called "artist's paradox"; more storage space for more music one never has time to listen to.

By amplifying some of these habits and rituals, "I Shuffle" intends to raise awareness, provoke and stimulate a reflection upon them. Therefore, four small units were built - based on a(n) (in)famous mp3 player -, each one of them emphasizing one particular aspect: shuffling, passive listening, short attention span, movement and etc.

"I Shuffle" uses Arduino, Processing and Puredata.

This Project was exhibited in "Hochschultage 2011" at the Hochschule für Künste, Bremen (Germany) in February 2011.

Supervised by Prof. Dennis Paul.
