OPEN URBANISM: May 2015
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 12 May 2015. The Ridiculous Handrail and other oblique functions. I’ve got a big backlog of writing to push out here, but I wanted to start off with a story of a curious handrail I saw at the National University of Singapore (my alma mater) when I was back there in March. Who on earth made this handrail, or ordered its installation here? Too bad for the people at the bottom of the stairs). I suppos...

OPEN URBANISM: October 2014
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 30 October 2014. But what does ‘quality’ really mean? How does one begin to quantify the ‘quality’ of an image? How does it affect our appreciation of the image, or original subject of the image? And what does quality mean when we apply it to life itself? What do people mean when they speak of “quality of life”? Posted by debbie ding. Along the way out there was this lovely signage with a white pe...

OPEN URBANISM: The Spherification of Edible Liquids for Impatient People
http://openurbanism.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-spherification-of-edible-liquids.html
Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Tuesday, 17 February 2015. The Spherification of Edible Liquids for Impatient People. After a few hits and misses doing spherification experiments over the last few years for fun, here is a collation of some personal observations or lessons learnt about spherification that people don't generally seem to explain properly in all the other recipes or online posts about spherification.

Adventures in tech, electronics, programming, cartography, geology, data, and augmented realities. Thursday, 22 May 2014. The Launch of the NewBiologist. My main goal in the production of these images has been to produce something which has the unreal sheen of something computer-generated, have a high degree of photorealism, but be obviously handdrawn when observed close up. The entire image was digitally painted in Photoshop and is not a photograph. In an exploration of long-form creative non-fiction st...

The Library of Pulau Saigon - Design Interactions
http://design-interactions.rca.ac.uk/debbie-ding/the-library-of-pulau-saigon
The Library of Pulau Saigon, 2015. An un-forgetting machine attempts to “resurrect” archaeological ambiguities from a list of artefacts recovered from the site of a former island in the Singapore River. Studying representations of objects via Google Images, the machine performs cultural craftsmanship on our behalf, using shape interpolation and generative CAD modelling to produce a library of mutating cultural objects.
