Err, What are Thought Blobs?

Date: 2014-12-17

Young people created a trail of slimey thoughts around St.Helens Central Library and investigated them using a Thought Detector device. This video introduces Thought Blobs and the detector used to read them.

Text descriptions of thoughts are written to slime covered RFID tags using a Raspberry Pi. The detector features an Arduino housed in OOBB, the open source laser cut alternative to Mecchano.

The Thought Blobs activity is part of the Re-Dock Cultral Hubs 2014 residency with St.Helens Libraries and St.Helens Arts Service. To make the detector Neil Winterburn collaborated with IOT expert Adrian McEwen & OOBB inventors Oomlout.
