LED processing code 

Sound reactive:

Initiate minim and load sound file at the same time. 

This was a hurdle I experienced, the LED didn’t react to the sound because Processing couldn’t detect the Arduino. Then I changed the name of the port Serial.list()[1] or [2]. It worked! 

LED colours change from blue to red according to the volume.

Heartbeat sounds 

Kaggle dataset:

This dataset was originally for a machine learning challenge to classify heartbeat sounds. The data was gathered from two sources: (A) from the general public via the iStethoscope Pro iPhone app, and (B) from a clinic trial in hospitals using the digital stethoscope DigiScope. 

I selected 200 normal quality heartbeat sounds, then edited them in a 2mintue soundtrack.

This is my attempt on the Adalight Project.

By activating the Minim library from Processing, my laptop is able to react to the sound from the real environment and LED will light up in RGB colours in response to the amplitude of the sound.

Final project- Mortality

-Visualising data through Interactive LED installation-

[2018data]

TeamLab- crystal universe

TeamLab- crystal universe

The art exhibit makes use of around 330,000 units of LEDs. Similar to a lot of LED strip light variants available today, the LEDs can project different colours, and the installation uses this to create different nature-inspired effects.

The DMM.PLANETS Art exhibit includes three LED-based attractions:

1. Wander through the Crystal Universe

This exhibit is the main attraction of the DMM.PLANETS Art exhibition, a room of reflected and refracted interactive LED lights that change colour depending on how visitors interact with them. Visitors can enter the area and create different visual effects in real-time using body movement, and even just walking around can affect the colour and intensity of light emitted by the LED bulbs.

This moving 3D artwork is made possible through the installation of LED lighting connected to sensors. The artwork also makes use of teamLab’s proprietary Interactive 4-D Vision technology, which allows visitors to control the LED bulbs through a special app on their mobile phones.

2. Drawing on the Water Surface Created by the Dance of Koi and People – Infinity

In this exhibit, interactive LED lights are used to project images of koi in different colours. This attraction is unique in that, instead of projecting light on a flat, solid surface, light coming from LEDs is projected on the surface of knee-deep water. Sensors connected to projectors can read the movements of visitors, which affect how the koi images are projected. The projection is rendered in real-time and is not a recorded visual, which means that every interaction with the LED koi is unique.

3. Floating in the Falling Universe of Flowers

This exhibit relies heavily on reflection and refraction, projecting floral images and patterns on mirrors. In addition to the interactive LED lighting, the exhibit also makes use of perfume, with each floral image or pattern having an equivalent scent, providing a whole new level of visual and olfactory experience for the visitors. They can also make use of a smartphone app that allows them to release at least 6 types of butterflies, simply by swiping upwards while using the app.

LEDs for art

A lot of artists today turn to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to bring life into their work, from LED strip lights to LED panels. Today, LEDs provide not just illumination for accentuating an artwork’s colour and depth; LEDs can now be used to make immersive pieces of art like never before, as evidenced by teamLab’s latest work.

For all your LED light needs in Australia, look no further than MatrixLED. Our wide range of high-quality, versatile LED lighting products, including LED strip lights and LED lamps, ensures that all your needs are met, whether you intend to use them for workplaces, industrial sites, or commercial spaces.

Visualizing data through art 

ART AND MATERIALS: THE TRIENNIAL PETRI DISH

Based upon the relationship between the material choices and their country of residency. This relationship would is displayed through drops of paint, suspended in volumes of oil, contained in transparent vessels.

INITIAL INTERPRETATIONS WE HAD THOUGHT TO INVESTIGATE:

The sustainability of works within each class of media, how well represented each type of media is within the exhibition, the usage of rare or art-specific materials/equipment, material trends within each media, the antiquity/contemporaneity of materials, the value of artworks based upon the cost of material.

We eventually found that for each of these possible readings, we did not have enough data for an accurate image, and that and any conclusion is drawn would require too many assumptions in the process.

DATA HANDLING AND CONSIDERATIONS:

-      Reorganised the data such that it is broken down by country, the number of artists from that country and the number of different materials used by the artists.

-      We decided upon ways to categorise the materials we will be factoring into the representation, by type and medium.

-      Place of residence was given priority over the country of birth.

-      When an artist uses more than one material belonging to a singular category, such as 'wool and linen' of the textiles category, for example, we have counted that as multiple uses of material.

-      International collaborations were treated as coming from multiple places of origin.

REPRESENTATION:

-      Each vessel represents a country of origin, (27 countries).

-      The volume of oil in each vessel represents how many artists from that country are exhibiting in the Triennial.

-      Colours/shades of dye would be assigned to each type (or category) of material.

-      Categories of materials pertaining to a particular medium would be assigned similar colours.

-      For each instance of a materials use, a drop would be placed in vessel representing the artist's country of origin.

CATEGORISATISATIONS:

Textiles, metals/alloys, natural materials (timber, masonry, other), photographic materials, print-based materials, paint/ink/pigment, pencil/charcoal, digital media, 3D printed materials, electronics

NARRATIVES/CONCLUSIONS THAT COULD BE DRAWN:

-      Representation of different countries.

-      The popularity of media and materials within certain countries.

-      Bias toward certain countries from the curators of the triennial.

-      Trends surrounding what type of artwork curators may have been seeking from each country.

-      Accessibility to certain materials based on a countries social and economic standing.
