The Typewriter in Residence was developed in collaboration with B3 Media, Divya Ghelani and Vinay Tailor, for the Strike at Imperial Typewriter exhibition, at Newarke Houses Museum in Leicester. You can read more about the exhibition and project here.
The Typewriter in Residence is a hacked Imperial Model 80, that would have been made in the Leicester Factory in the 1970’s. Visitors to the Exhibition can use the Typewriter In Residence to find out more about the experiences of strikers and others working at Imperial Typewriters during the 70’s by typing messages, or exhibition themes, to read exerts from transcribed oral histories.
I developed the hardware for the Typerwriter using Arduino, the screen module, and the overall interaction design for the Typewriter in Residence. I collaborated with developer Vinay Tailor who created the Python application that recalled the quotes from a Raspberry Pi and displayed them on screen.
