Neopolitan

3 little windows of light

A project improving design principles incorporating wood & plexiglass. Similar concepts to Hexagon but with improvements in perceived motion and efficiency of LED usage. Also added code to utilize the geometrical freedom provided by 3 separate but linked windows.

Hexagon

A portal of illumination

A project building irregular geometric shapes. Mixed wood & diffuse plexiglass construction to produce a dynamic nature from varying brightness. Exploration of multiple symmetries, and the perception of movement through persistence of vision effects. The result is a hexagon wall piece that can be set to respond to music input, or display an ambient mode (like the Dreamcatcher)

Dreamcatcher

A mixed media ambient wall piece providing more than just color. Illumination.

An experiment combining a few of my hobbies: woodworking, LEDs, and geometric artwork. Sliced wood is suspended and held together with an intricate wire weave. Backlit by LEDs to accentuate lines & provide illumination.

Color Wheel from Recycled Magazines

100% recycled old magazines.
Some pages can be quite colorful, and I tried to recapture some of the vibrancy. Thanks for the inspiration, Andy Goldsworthy.

Pier 70, Dogpatch, San Francisco, CA

Description
Auxiliary input to -
Custom analog 3-channel filter to -
Arduino Nano v3.1 running my countless mutations on the Adafruit library to -
4 quadrants of 6 WS2811 strips = 24 strips, totalling 1080 LEDs spanning 36 meters of strips
Tied to a 9' x 9' wooden structure
All powered by a DC12V 30A power supply

Completely solo built over a grueling 2 weeks, working well into the night, every night.

Constructed completely from recycled materials... except for the LED strips. But they will be reused!

A big thanks to Make Big Art Crew for the lumber, construction space, and tools. A big thanks to Janky Barge for the event space. A big thanks to my previous employer's shutdown for the recycled electronics. And a special thank you to Julia, who was essential in making this happen.
