Kinetic Data Sculpture
Overview
Using the technical skills we’ve developed over the past three weeks, design and prototype a kinetic, sculptural visualization of a remote data stream. Legibility is NOT a requirement for this project. The goal here is to play with form and consider alternative implementations of the physical->digital->physical communication pipeline.
Requirements
- Final project is due at the end of class.
- Using the simple materials at hand, design a kinetic sculpture that changes its motion based on a remote, external, physical input.
- System must use two computers that speak to each other over a network
- One computer must pull in sensor data (either through arduino or the computer’s microphone)
- The other computer must control the motion of your physical design.
- Take a short video of the sculpture and post it to the blog.
