What if a river could draw?

2026-10-24 15:26:09 UTC

A “River Drawing Machine”: a device attached to e.g. a raft that lets the river’s flow move a pen as it travels downstream. The result is a continuous drawing of the river’s own “voice,” thereby exploring more ecocentric ways of documenting a landscape and nature. It would be amazing to have a team of engineers and makers to build a working, waterproof prototype!

Security Jewellery

A ring that includes a button and a Bluetooth chip to connect to a phone app, which is able to send one's location to selected people and, with a different combination of clicking the button, make emergency calls. Should be a lot smaller and more invisible than invisawear, as their design kind of defeats their purpose. 💍

A an assitant that listens to you presenting and helps you on a side panel in real time.

For example: An audience member asks you a question that is connected to something you mentioned some time ago during the presentation. The assistant recommends the slide to jump to and presents the most relevant information (possibly also from other sources) that help you with adressing the question.
