Field notes

The homepage organizes projects alongside links for people, publications, courses, news, and tutorials. Its descriptions range from a Python library for stable prints in clay and other soft materials to a biomaterial cookbook of extrudable bio-paste recipes. It also lists an interactive mural that responds to touch with shifting soundscapes; the extracted text does not explain the underlying hardware or software.
