Perspex hand built box with tissue flower LEDs, Arduino. Turns out I still have it and I think it’ll be a good ‘container’ for the less and tissue even the fact the wires will be visible I quite like because it’s than mixture of delicate material with computerisation so I think I might experiment with this a little. I’ve been thinking about how I would stage these flowers or anything I decide to move forward with using tissue paper and then I thought of the clear perspex box I made for my jelly design domain box and I made a smaller version of it completely by hand. I’m also quite excited about potentially connecting the wii balance board to the fading of the lights making it much more interactive than the ‘ Breathing Companion‘ when only the push of a button was required from the viewer. I felt this was actually quite successful and I think I should experiment a bit more with tissue paper and lights.

I also had a look at Arduino code and instead of a binary on off state and explored the lights fading in and out creating a more subtle effect. I was obviously really worried this would look extremely crafty but then I thought I can’t judge it before I even try it. I had this idea to make paper flowers with the small LEDs in the middle as I though this might be a nice way to manipulate the light as well as tying in with my the plants and nature aspect I’ve been trying to achieve. The virtual x and y values from the wii balance board are mapped to create these drawings. Also there are far more poses that can be done on the board than I initially though, the board detects subtle moments so even stretching to one side is significant and shows up very well. I really like being able to draw these because in yoga it’s often mentioned to stay grounded and balance is so important so drawing these values maps out someones practice through their feet.
#Osculator wiimote how to
Paul wants to show me how to incorporate a few more of the values so we will go over that later. Paul showed me how to talk to the board through processing and made a simple sketch drawing a line based on the virtual x and y values basically drawing the balance of a person. Luckily my board has values between 0 and 1 which will make it really easy in the code later on. Paul said he’d be happy to show me the basics as well as how to link everything to processing so hopefully I can move forward with this on Thursday.īefore my studio support I wanted to sync up my balance board with OSCulator so that in my studio support session with Paul I wouldn’t waste time trying to get all the basics done and instead have more time to focus on processing.
I put batteries in paired it up and got a blue flashing light as well as it showing up on OSCulator so I’m pretty positive it works! I tried to look for tutorials but most are about the wii remote and the forums are very specific questions so I decided to sign up for studio support. I cleaned it up downloaded OSCulator and wanted to check if it works. I managed to find a used Wii balance board on eBay and won the auction it arrived on Tuesday 16th. Practicing yoga and/or mediation on a balance board, which I use to track the values of weight distribution, has a direct effect on the tissue flower light sculpture which I build.
Physical Movement Controlling a Light Sculpture – Wii Balance Board & Arduinoīalance Light is a work which allows for the physical movement of the body to have a direct impact on a sculpture.
