controllers

The open source electronics movement, such as Arduino, has unleashed a new world of possibility. This session introduces a range of microcontrollers and their potential to bring interactive works to life.

Bzzz the sound of electricity

Cécile Babiole’s Bzzz! The Sound of Electricity employs a series of 6 Arduino microcontrollers and 12 pa amplifiers to create an organic albeit electronic sound-scape installation. Apparently the signals of the individual Arduino microcontrollers are allowed to interact and ‘scrape’ off of one another to produce some form of emergent whole.

Konstelakcja

Konstelakcja is a project based on the phenomenon of emergence - interactions between each individual piece becomes more complex than the sum of its parts. This creates the impression of a phenomena controlled from above, when in fact it has no central control. The basic module is a regular tetrahedron made of vacuum-formed plastic. Within each module there are receptors light and LEDs and a simple microcontroller.

RAIN ROOM

Rain Room can be seen as an amplified representation of our environment. Human presence prevents the rain from falling, creating a unique atmosphere and exploring how human relationships to each other and to nature are increasingly mediated through technology.
