BA in Architecture and CAD @ University of Colorado Boulder
MPS in Interactive Design @ Tisch School of the Arts
Goal:
Encourage community interaction and play with public sculptures
Combine technology, art, and community
Edison Drops
Hand-blown glass bulbs designed for LED lights assembled in the shape of orbs
Low-voltage lasers sense the distance of objects or people below the orbs. As someone gets closer to the sculpture, the code Jen Lewin uses is triggered, causing the LED lights in the bulbs to create “ripples” of color to mimic ripples in water.
Laser Harp
Laser harp allows people to play music together with light.
The Chandelier Harp is an interactive instrument played by passing your body through the low voltage lasers that shine from the Chandelier Harp to the ground. Much like plucking the string of a harp, passing through the beams triggers custom circuitry and sensors to produce musical notes.By passing something through the sensors in each light block, Jen’s circuitry is triggered to make sounds and change colors, creating and visual and audio experience in this interactive work
The Pool
The Pool is an environment of giant, concentric circles created from interactive circular pads. By entering The Pool, you enter a world where play and collaborative movement create swirling effects of light and color. Imagine a giant canvas where you can paint and splash light collaboratively. As multiple users play in The Pool, their interactions become mesmerizing patterns of shifting and fading colors.
Wireless Interactive platforms are meshed together with code. When activated by touch the circles swirl with light.
