10/7 Maria Semester Proposal




workshop sensing with arduino and electric paint
• Dries at room temperature in 10-15 minutes
• Must be fully dry to work
• Easily removable with soap and water
• Seal with acrylic paint or spray varnish
• Can last years if treated properly and kept dry
• Works on: paper, cardboard, wood, plastic, glass, plaster, some rubbers, textiles, etc…
• Connect batteries, LEDs and other components
• Great for attaching components and for PCB repair
• Can be used as a cold solder and wire paint
• Can be used with conductive thread and e-textiles
• Can be painted or sprayed over for protection or multi-layered circuitry
• Surface resistivity approx 55 ohms/square at 50 microns layer thickness


I want to create an interactive piece using electric paint/ or copper tape that lights up LEDs as it is being touched. I thought of using electric paint/copper tape to create a circuit with designs, so that the LEDs that are shaped like a bird, become more responsive as it is touched. Circuit stickers would probably help me a lot for this project so that I can place them on a flat surface. I want both the piece and person to interact with each other, to bring the person closer to the world of circuitry.
