Kinetic Chandelier SILKE [vvvv] by Sebastian Neitsch. Silke is the final project of Sebastian Neitsch at the University of Art and Design in Halle.

Kinetic Chandelier SILKE [vvvv] by Sebastian Neitsch

The installation includes a robotic chandelier that has its own way of creating a constantly changing light-atmosphere. It reacts to people and the general light condition surrounding it. The structure consists out of twelve arms that can individually move and direct a light-beam from their tip to any point at the room. The single arms move a bit like the tail of a cat and together with the sounds of 24 servo-motors it immediately creates the feeling a living creature might be present. The installation includes 12 large Servo-motors (sailing-servos) which are able to turn 360 degrees, 12 strong Robot-servos, 12 power-leds (warm-white), 3 Arduino Megas, 3 USB Cables, 2 Firewire Cameras, 1 Macbook-pro, 1 power supply with 2A and 6-12V and 50 meter of wires.

Until now Silke is simply following the movement of any spectator. Project Page (Thanks Emilio) BotoxCloud. Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - Project "Standards and Double Standards" Dynamic Structure 29117 [c, Objects] - Ordering random structures.. by Willem van Weeghel. Dynamic Structure 29117 is the latest in the collection of kinetic structures created by Willem van Weeghel in the last year.

Dynamic Structure 29117 [c, Objects] - Ordering random structures.. by Willem van Weeghel

The 29117 is a mural object with dimensions of 4.20 x 2.80 m. It consists of a white background and 32 dark blue lines. These lines (made of thin stainless steel and carbon) can all rotate independently from each other. There are eight groups of 4 lines that rotate into each other. Every line is moved by a completely silent electrical motor. System with custom made software written in PLC (c-based) that allows precise positioning. Out of random chaotic structures ordered structures are processed.

Daito Manabe. Reuben Margolin. Arduino. The workshops attempt to warm up and pick up the skills and mindset for the coming MSc2 studio of HyperBody LAB: Inter_Performing Environment Diverse Bodies + Animate Bodies + Kinectic Bodies ( Generate Monster + Emotive Monster + Bodies Monster ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "Diverse Bodies" workshop mainly focuses on the relationship between simple variables and complex geometries.

Arduino

In other words, how to create various and diverse geometries out of simple but elegant rules and parameters. In nature, all organisms follows this beautiful simple-to-complex notion to build up bodies. Therefore, the workshop will try to implement this natural growth inspiration to a spatial application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The "Animate Bodies" workshop mainly focuses on the interaction between human and spatial environment.
