For this week I wanted to explore different ways that I could mix biomaterials and electronics. I started to think of how it could be used for performances. The use of the Attiny was interesting in order to able more body moves without so much weight, that is usually the problem with e-textiles.

## Process and workflow
My inspiration was related to skins, these skins would be a mix between decomposed elements, biodegradable materials and an aspect way more cyborg and digital.
I was also interested in the Matrice because I have been using a microcontroller for a performance I’m doing, and it was a way to explore it differently. In my performance, a fabric I wove has metallic threads woven in it, that are connected to a microcontroller called Playtronica. This microcontroller reacts to touch and I connected it to Processing and Ableton. I made it generate visual symbols of mine and sounds, when you touch the fabric. I want to see how I could connect my processing code with the Arduino Uno, or maybe use a Rasberry Py in order to stock all the informations without having to have a computer in the performance.
During this week, I was also interested in the different sounds that can be generated live, the reaction to sensors and lights.
