Shimmering diamonds in the rough
Recycling components of hypnomoth into a more general-purpose jewel structure. Also added a hinge component to allow folding of the pieces for easier transport. Debut at a private Beats Music launch party (2/1/14)

Quadweave
A boxy spiral
Experiment with unconventional geometrical shapes in carpentry, and with weaving spiral perspectives / repeating shapes. The result is a pinwheel-like structure combining wood, metal, string, and LEDs. Recycling of mostly old code, but customized to take advantage of radial symmetry. Almost reminds me of a galaxy..

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.

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.
