Prototyping of Critter number one well under way. #PhD

Brain boxes

Bread-boarding the brains. #Critters #PhD

prototyping of 'Critters' in full swing

I've been busily jamming stuff together in the FabLab,  first with #littlebits but now working out how these Critters will look and act.

 

from #TeamLab: Distilling Senses: A Journey through Art and Technology in Asian Contemporary Art

This from Collacubed Individual balls floating within an enclosed space communicate to each other via wireless connection. They change color and emit different sounds when touched by visitors or bump into each other or other objects. The balls send color information to other balls which in turn spread the information to other balls, changing all the balls to the same color. The piece is a metaphor for the internet and globalization in general. People act as intermediaries for information which so quickly travels via the internet globally, transforming the world in an instant and unifying at the same time.
