    We support the Open Source Hardware movement. All our own designs published on this website are released under the Free Cultural Works definition
    The following institutions have funded our research and supported our work:

    Mika was a guest researcher at the Smart Textiles Design Lab, The Swedish School of Textiles

    Hannah is a former graduate student of the MIT Media Lab's High-Low Tech research group


    Hannah and Mika were both research fellows at the Distance Lab
    Conductive Materials

    Fine Steel Wool

    By felting together natural and steel wool it is possible to make conductive felt and from this a pressure sensitive variable resistor.

    This project is a nice project by Thomas Gerhardt using this principal.
