    For assignment5, we made a pixel style wave using multiple acrylic board and linear actuators. We strung the same rectangular acrylic boards together with two long rubber bands. Then, we made the linear actuators to move up and down alternatively to create this wave-like style movement. Initially, we wanted to make all the … Continue reading Week5: Wave

  In this assignment, we used 3 DMX PAR lights to create a light composition. Since our light is not able to move, and we have 3 of them, we thought of making a composition simply playing with placing lights in different positions in the space. Then we thought of the traditional Chinese sundial, where … Continue reading Assignment3: Sundial

The lesson we learnt from this was that the when the light gets near the object, the shadow … Continue reading Assignment2: City Night & Illuminated Squares

In this assignment, I refreshed my memory with Arduino programming, figured out how “millis()” and “delay()” work differently. (Which is something I wasn’t able to figure out in Interlab) We explored how to make better use of forloop(forloop net) in light programing and how to write a timer for different sections. After 3 semesters of … Continue reading Weekly Assignment 1: Feel My Menstrual Cycle

Light in essence is another form of paints, objects(media) are paint brushes in different shapes, and similarly, the space is another form of canvas.
