For our assignment, we plan on playing off the Sherwin-Williams metaphor “Cover the Earth”.
After seeing this logo on a sign in Shrewsberry, it looked like it could pose as the perfect concept for an interactive art project.
We plan on making a wooden frame that will hold three different dispensers of paint (Red, Blue, and Yellow). A globe will be placed inside the frame. When the user presses a corresponding button on the computer on the computer (or physical button), the Arduino will activate a servo which will push down on a dispenser filled with paint.
We’ll need to figure out how to mount the servo/dispensers together to make them work properly, as well as figure out how to actually hook up a servo to the Arduino. So far, we have the paint, wood to make the frame, and a make-shift globe.
This could turn out to be a really fun interactive piece; we’re pretty excited to build it.
