I had a very nice and inspiring time at #39c3. I gave a #lightningtalk about the modulator and with Connor I had a Q/A and demo session about both of our controllers at @c-base.org

The "Modulator" is slowly getting shape ;) More updates soon.
I gave a short talk about the endless pots in the second image at #38c3 but audio of the recording is broken. Will share it later

The 4th round of the "Making Non-(Sense)" Workshop by me and Rahel Flechtner comes to an end. This time at KISD, with the @gestaltungai.bsky.social masters from Mainz. It – again – was a lot of fun!
