Feb. 21 Trees – Detailed Sketches and Discussion

We began with the trees section. The materials we decided to use for this part include layered cardboard, earthy-felt moss-like felt (or other materials that give similar senses), cotton balls, and yarns. We also wanted to let the roots of the trees have a metropolitan feel to contrast with the nature. To make this section interaction, we plan on including buttons/conductive sensors that are in disguise of objects and scattered around the trees.

On the other hand, we put together a speaker/button circuit using Arduino. The next step would be writing codes and putting together a circuit for multiple buttons.

One thing that we need to be aware of – 1. how do we get the audience to interact with the mural 2.
