Project 2: Alive Enough (Motion & the Body) Conceptual Umbrella: Embodiment, memento mori, flesh, physicality, mortality, carnal presence; finite, fragile, temporal Key Themes: The body as mechanism; movement as life; vulnerability and decay; repetition, strain, and fatigue; Frankenstein logic; visible seams and repair Technical Focus: Servo motors and controlled motion; potentiometers and sensors; mechanical translation; remix and assemblage using found objects Imagine: obje

Part 1: Planning the Layout & Permanent Wiring Before you solder a single joint or commit anything permanently, you need a plan. Interactive light artworks aren’t just visual objects—they’re systems . How you power, route, expose, and secure those systems directly affects how the work functions, how long it survives, and what it communicates. This phase is about thinking like an artist and  a builder . 1. Choosing the Right Power Supply Power is not just a number on a label.

To start the lab, we will look over a variety of sensors and documentation oh how to use them. Found Objects, Cardboard, and the Art of Prototyping Before we talk about precision, polish, or laser-cut perfection, we need to talk about housing —where electronics live, and what that container communicates. Electronics do not need a “perfect” enclosure to begin meaning something. Some of the most compelling interactive artworks start in improvised containers : cardboard, thrift-

Today we will start by building our first circuit, BLINK! Blink | Arduino Documentation The Blink circuit is the simplest Arduino project: an LED is turned on and off at a steady interval using a few lines of code. An Arduino sends a HIGH signal to the LED to turn it on, waits for a short delay, then sends a LOW signal to turn it off—repeating this loop endlessly. It’s often called the “Hello World” of electronics  because, like the first program written in any new programmin
