This project aims to fuse neopixel strips with papier mache and origami into a free-standing electro-sculpture.
The freestanding structure is formed from wire mesh and papier mache. It is then painted and wired up with strips of LEDs connected to an RPi3+Teensy+OctoWS2811 Adapter + Power Supply. The entire LED covered surface is then covered in a diffuser created from modular origami elements glued together. Finally, some VJ software (Glediator) is used to create realtime animated patterned displays.
This along with the previous piece was completed over the last couple of
months as a small part of my considerably larger folio submission for the
semester. The Lightbox was from last semester. I have one more
electronic-based project from this semester (A lightstick (for light
painting) created with a 144 Dotstar strip, a raspberry pi zero w and other
bits and bobs)… and yes I am prolific.
