While starting my prototyping, I have focused mainly on the electronics and control side, since I have not worked with arduino much before. Using a kit that I have along with some parts from a friend, I was able to build a setup with an arduino uno, a sound sensor module, and a custom amplifier…
Maquette – Layered Light Show
This week I worked on getting some WS2812b addressable LEDs I had laying around functioning with a basic arduino uno. To generate the LED patterns I am using Syncstrip which plays back a .png by pixel row real time with a song using a MS Visual Studio and C#. After messing with the program for…
Alyssa Konsko: Maquette
After Monday’s class, I decided to focus on putting lights on my friends, sending them down mountains and seeing what happens. And on Thursday night, that’s exactly what my friend Erika and I did. I didn’t know if I would get better content from long exposure still images or from videos, so I brought the…
Yllara Maia- Maquette
For my maquette, I decided to attempt to fabricate a smaller version of two of my concepts utilizing the same materials that I plan on using for the final project. I am very fond of wood as a material, which is what I chose to make both pieces. For my lighting sources, I purchased a…
Nathan Dennler: Maquette
A note from future Nathan, cursing my past self: I totally forgot to take pictures during the process, so it’s hard to see it coming together, I will remember to do that next time! This week I worked on the mesh turtleneck and the start of the dress. There were a couple of things that…
Josue Contreras & Chris Bell – Maquette
After the Concept Presentations, we decided on going with the location-based light art installation that changes color and plays music based on where the user is standing. We set up in AK 113 and played with an IR tracking camera, two Arduinos, and an LED light strip we had lying around. After some experimentation, we…

Shopping list for Steel wool: Steel wool Large Binder Clips Stainless steel chain Gloves and Goggles For doing light paintings using light pen and lighting stick, all I need is light pens…
Maquette
Once I ordered my LEDs, I sorted through them to choose the best four colors, or the colors that were the brightest. Those colors ended up being dark green, white, pink, and dark blue. Then, I went to AK to solder the LEDs to wires and then taped the LEDs and wire to the batteries,…
Kyle France: Concept Proposal
Initially, I was very interested in working with a projector and a faux stained-glass window in a similar way to one of Bruce Munro’s installments, Dawn Treader. When I saw it in person, I was captivated by the animation-like effect achieved by changing the background projection over the still image formed by the panes. It…
