About: I created The Things You Do to Me in order to show how people can influence one another whether it be social anxiety, love, fear, etc. I showed this by having engraved acrylic hearts of two different styles and lit them in sequentially in order to make it look like the heart is beating….

Like I already said, last week this project consumed my life spending many many hours designing the hearts, prepping for engraving, actually engraving two, and planning for the circuit set up. Because of that I had a lot of work to catch up on from other classes preventing me from doing much more to the…

So, after trying multiple methods with the glass (using more of the glass etching cream, using vinyl, doing the inverted image with glass etching cream, using different distances between the frames of the glass, etc.) it turned out that the frosted glass was not transparent enough to see the light through. Because of this, I…

At first I thought the hardest part would be the coding. I was having trouble figuring out how to loop it the way I wanted to through the LEDs. I am not the most experienced at coding but I ended up figuring it out for the ultrasonic distance sensor. I’m still not sure if I…

So right now I don’t have anything to practice the electrical part except for an ultrasonic sensor so I set up something to prove that I can control LEDs through a system using distance as a parameter instead of sound. I also added a buzzer to temporarily replace the heartbeat sounds. Right now the lights…

Concept: I want to create a heart out of EL wire that beats in accordance to voices. Input and Output: The image of the heart will be dynamically changing to stimuli. The stimuli will be voice. However loud or quite you speak or a room is will correspond to the output of the image. The…

Luftwerk is a group of two individuals, Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallero. They are very well known by their light art’s use of dematerialization and materialization of the surroundings. They also use many other techniques such as creating custom builds, utilizing famous/iconic structures in their works, and precise placements of shadows to create an image. Luftwerk…
