Blendid is an interaction design collective consisting of David Kousemaker and Tim Olden. They’ve focused their work on the design and making of experimental interfaces. David and Tim will talk about their latest project named Swarm, a six meters wide light sculpture consisting of almost 500 elements that change their color in reaction to the people who walk underneath. Amongst other things, their presentation will look at their use of the open source 3D software Blender, and a set of custom-made tools.
