On October 10th the Repurpose Project in Gainesville, FL will be hosting a festival -- The Trash Festival. By pairing the Arduino micro processor with "e-waste" and using materials found at the center I will create an interactive work to be displayed and documented during the Festival. I will also heavily document what parts are being used and what they were scavenged from. The focus of this project is to engage the community with an interactive artwork that also exhibits the potential of materials often seen as waste when they have been but retired from duty.

VHS tapes are abound. Motor controlling could serve some really interesting purpose either with the tape housing mechanism or by programming the arudino to interface with Infared remote code.
The view input could be manipulated by sound from the live music, a tactile "controller" for a work that envelopes the performance stage, fingerprint scanner juxtaposing a sort of scary "futuristic" tech with older technology.
The scavenging part of the project will be documented and discussed with Repurpose to be hosted on their web platforms. By providing how someone can move through this space and fully utilize the materials at hand I can contribute to the apparent value of a resource like that of Repurpose.
