ANALOG RGB LED STRIP
Having seen some experimental light performance shows, I start to think, how about making a narrative light show? So I have the idea for this assignment-a light story box.
Fortunately, I found a laser cut box with lots of cute animals on it. After coloring them, I used a drill to hollow their eyes in the back. Then I put the light strip inside it and found when the light turns red, the eyes look really scary in the dark. So I made a dark fairytale show in the end, using a combination of two songs from The Little Mermaid, one is Under the Sea, one is Poor Unfortunate Souls.

For this assignment, since we have 2*30(+) lights in total.
Our inspiration comes from Mark Rothko, an abstract expressionist who is famous for his color-field painting. His projects always give people a sense of calmness. We want to recreate his work using lights, so Max and I decided to maximize the light strips and we cut it to 7 light strips each with 8 lights and soldered each one with 3 wires.
Then we put some of Mark Rothko’s paintings together and upload it to the processing data file.
To utilize it as a meditation project, we added an ultrasonic aroma diffuser in front of the light.
Here’s the video documentation of the project:

For this project, we got the idea from the film One Day. There’s one scene in the film that the female protagonist and male protagonist chasing each other on a field and we want to turn the scene into a light show.
We edited the light composition according to the music using millis(). The most difficult part is to adjust the times so that the lights can match with the music. (and move the chip to upload it every time)
Each of us took charge of one light. The three lights represent the male protagonist, female protagonist, and the background. Our cooperation was really nice which increase the efficiency a lot.
