The goal of this project is to provide as complete of a resource as possible for people interested in getting into creating artwork incorporating LED lighting. A secondary goal is to provide basic information on general engineering practices for creating standalone LED art.[more]
This is a LED art project with 95 RGB LEDs arranged in a 3D cylinder shape control with a microcontroller-based driver circuit. The LEDs are individually addressable, and when you power it on, the software cycles through a series of animations, e.g. various moving rainbowy patterns, “rain”, “fireworks”, and so on. It doesn’t serve much of a purpose but it is kind of cool to look at. The hardware and software are open source, so feel free to use/copy/extend whatever you find here. [more]
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]
