RHYTHM 1990
Interactive installation with Arduino Uno, LEDs, relays, hooked rug (made by artist's mother), radio (owned by artist’s grandmother), cassette player (owned by artist’s sister), and other objects inherited by the artist.
Interaction with the rug turns on and off two radios. Conductive thread added among the yarn of the rug act as capacitive sensors. When the sensors are touched, the Arduino activates a relay pattern and LEDs.
This project was inspired by the ability of familiar objects to trigger memories and the idea of using digital technology to communicate with an analog past.
