This week I failed at making the planets. A few things went into this failure. My main issue is that they are much too large. For my original idea, I wanted fairly large planets so I ordered 16 in diameter clear beach balls to use as the base. However the size is a problem for…

I first decided to tackle writing code to smooth the acceleration data and add a threshold value that triggers the EL wire to be powered. I was able to use a moving average filter to complete this task. It went very quickly so I was able to work on another difficult aspect of my project….

I originally thought the hardest part of the project would be connecting all of the wires and dealing with them with the LED’s so I decided to test them first. I did his legs and surprisingly got it to work first try. I was able to put the LED’s inside of the EVA foam pretty…

The goal of my project has not been solidified yet. I am still exploring vast possibilities of software and trying to establish limitations for the project and form realistic expectations. For my artist study, I picked japaneese multimedia artist Ryoji Ikeda. His attempts to recreate behaviors of nature through the use of theoretical mathematics are…

I really liked the idea of telling a story through the piece, but the stories I wanted to share seemed to mellow for flasing LEDs. So I shifted the layout of the project to be kind of like an optical illusion. When you look at it from one angle you will see one piece, and…

Here is an initial iteration for my aniRGB project. Although this proof of concept may not appear impressive initially, an undisclosed aspect of the project will be revealed at the end of class, adding artistic value and greatly enhancing its overall impression. aniRGB v0.8 A webapp to turn a series of data describing player movement…

For my project, I choose to go with the animated neon sign. I liked how the Neon sign was more personal to me, than the other two projects. However, I do think adding a hidden UV message into the design would be very cool. If time is applicable for my project, I can look more…

I have chosen the long animal project. I did not have a lot of time to work on him this week due to a crisis at work, but this is what I have so far. Fairy Lights I decided to use some Neopixel RGB fairy lights from Adafruit, which I have ordered but they haven’t…

Using feedback and further research on materials, I have changed up my project a bit from the project proposal. Originally I planned to use EL wire to create lit up, hanging, cube sculptures inspired by various abstract artists. Some of the feedback I got on the project proposal was to use clear boxes at the…

Description: I am Aiming for a Bioluminescent fairy forest, the background has technically been painted. But I was unsure of where to go from there, so I have been experimenting on tree types and objects digitally. Considerations: Definite- I want to include a glow stone path, some fireflies (for the night scene), various glowing mushrooms,…
