Nevermore is an interactive art installation based on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven that uses a new physical interface in the form of a pair of wings. A person enters as the role of the raven by strapping on the wings and flapping his/her arms. The movement of the wings is captured by a BASIC Stampยฎ module connected to five potentiometers mounted in the joints of the wings and is transmitted to a computer via the serial port. The computer animates a 3D-model of a bird inside a virtual world based on the motion capture data.[more]
The basic form for this sculpture was derived from a wooden stand and plaster Lenin bust. The concept was that Lenin placed in historical context with art movements like Dada proves that no one can predict the future, and the ridiculousness of such an endeavor. The final result was a combination of constructivism, Dada absurdism, and the Zoltar machine from the movie, “Big”.The installation is controlled by a Parallax Basic Stamp II, uses a basic DC power supply, LEDs and various electronic components and a serial vacuum fluorescent display from Scott Edwards Electronics.[more]
The fountain was finished more than a year ago and the city government is waiting for a meaningful date for the official inauguration .This water fountain is in front of the National Congress in Argentina. The pictures shown on this page are from a test run after work was completed.There are 16 water pumps between 2.5HP and 3.5 HP. The pictures were taken from the control room that is located under a monument. The main pipes are 8″ in diameter, the control system is electronics and the BASIC Stamp can control water flow, lights, sequences and schedules.[more]
ANSI art is a computer art form using text characters on computers with MS-DOS (before Windows) which was popular in the late 80โs and early to mid 90โs. It was mainly used for BBSes (Bulletin Board Systems), which was software that would allow a computer to host forums, files, online games, and other services. Using a modem terminal software people would connect to the BBS over a phone line.[more]
“Aletheic” is a free-standing sculptural piece using 4 infrared sensors that trigger light patterns in a grid of 64 LEDs controlled by Stamp2sx and MAX7219. The values sent from the sensors are combined into a weighted average that controls the individual brightness of each LED. Moving your hands around in the sensor IR beams triggers shifting wave patterns through the LED grid.[more]
