After David Boultbee’s workshop I began to
consider incorporating the arduinos in to my work. I like the idea that any
lights or sounds that I include in my work could be controlled by the arduino. I
could potentially manipulate the intervals between the lights turning on and
off, or even use a motion detector.
The workshop was really insightful and has
spurred me on to think about combining digital technologies with handcraft.
However, I believe that it would take a lengthy period of time to fully
understand the equipment and learn how to write code.
I was able to play around with a plastic
sample that I had made and the light powered by the arduino, which created some
interesting surfaces.
After using the arduinos and looking at the
coding software, I’m keen to learn more about it, and even look at using a ‘raspberry
pie’. With only a couple more weeks of the project left, I think I will just concentrate
on combining light, movement and possibly sound into my work, and hopefully in
the future projects I will also be able to control these features with an arduino.
