Further development of idea and installation:
As we keep discussing and pushing our ideas, we've come up with some more developments to the project. We currently need to install a reddish film over the white LEDs to make the temperature of the light warmer and more comforting. We also need to release the wrinkles from the new pillow case (we bought a cream colored one to be more evocative of skin, and have some contrast between the white in the rest of the installation) so that it will have a cleanly installed appearance.
For the process of what we will be doing to put the pillow part of the installation together is:
-put the light in the pillow (diffused by bedding and filter) and have the light attached to our proximity sensor and battery-powered arduino. The light will radiate from the pillow around the area of the breasts to echo the sensation of a heartbeat in visual form. The light will brighten briefly when the sensor is tripped to acknowledge the interacting individual and then it will return to fading in and out.
-put the stepper motor with battery-powered arduino into the pillow between the breasts so that the pulsing of the motor is reverberated through them and the feeling of a soft comfortable heartbeat is present with viewer interaction.
-affix breasts on top of pillow, but inside pillow case to create a comforting but still slightly uncanny and nurturing sort of object
