Final Project Reflection

I enjoyed making and researching the different variations of these project. I experimented with different ways of making the form through wrapping and gluing. In terms of the technology I used, at first I thought that for my concept of creating a seemingly living organism I could use the RFIDs to trigger particular movement of the triggering of alarms or lights. However, the RFID would be impractical for what I wanted to achieve and would require other parts like an antenna for the range to be great enough. That got my thinking about how great the LDR responded to different types of lights and their brightness. Also, with the LDRI feel that I was able to conceal the technology in such a way that the form seems more organic or at least more natural and as if it were essential to the tree.
In the future I would like to recreate this piece with different kinds of tvs or media playing devices that are not just vidual but audio and could play videos that I have made myself. In addition, I enjoyed the chance to create a site-specific work and would like to create more of a installation space. Using speakers and even theater seating wrapped into the surrounding trees I feel that I could take advantage of the space as a tablaeu of nature.

This is an old futton cushion that I dyed with natural ad synthetic dyes and drew different plated forms to resemble a shell of organisms casing.

Erin and Adam | Motors

this is the end of my work with Adam. 

So I soldered this beauty together during the time everyone else was figuring out how to use them. I have yet to get the power light to turn on. Dawn borrowed it before I had the chance to use it, but I didn't think to ask if it worked for her. Perhaps, clearly my technical construction skills are defunct. 

The storeroom is clear of working ones at present, troubleshooting on hold. Sunday Nov. 4th 6:30.

Project 36 - temperature sensor

We got it to freaking work

Project 32 - First attempt

We have not been able to get the pressure sensor to work with the GLCD. Here are images of our first attempt.
