Good afternoon. Melbourne, Australia

Bart Wildash builds systems, gadgets, and experiments.

Event operations at Ludo, plus personal software and hardware concepts. This is the library, and it says plainly which things are built and which are still ideas.

A map of 17 active, nested, and archived experiments, grouped by the systems they naturally feed.

Anything marked as a concept is an idea worked through on paper. It is not something you can use yet.

Ludo Field Systems

Venue tools for real crowds: visitor wallets, live participation, pop-up networks, and the practical kit that keeps a day moving.

Archive / Back Burner

Ingredients

Keeping the experiments coherent.

AFUGR can wander a bit, which is mostly the point. But the work still needs a centre of gravity.

Concept

The reason to start. Usually a problem, a curiosity, or some small frontier itch that feels worth chasing.

Materials

Whatever makes it real. Plastic, metal, cardboard, RLCD panels, code, 3D-printed parts, dead ends, and things I probably should have measured twice.

Behaviour

How it feels in use. Fast, quiet, rugged, playful, stubborn, precise. What something does matters, but so does how it behaves while doing it.

Form

The physical result. Simple, honest, a bit industrial. Built to be handled, repaired, tossed in a bag, and taken somewhere real.

System

How the pieces join up. Kits, instructions, firmware, parts, and patterns that can be reused. Each experiment should make the next one easier to start.

Field Notes

The memory of the work. Observations, sketches, diagrams, misfires, fixes, and improvements. The notes stop the project becoming vibes.

Together, these pieces keep AFUGR practical without sanding off the weirdness.
