So, this is the installation for which I have been working so hard on the modular power LED string. See those glowing internal lights?
Beautiful work, just sad I didn't get to see the finished piece in person.
Modular Power LED string
Finally there, 28x 3W LEDs in a modular design with around 70 metres of cable. Off to deliver to Esther Rolinson for her installation at The Curve Theatre in Leicester.
Art Installation - Threeways School, Bath
This week saw an art installation in the Sensory Studio at Threeways School. This was a collaboration between degree art students at Bath Spa University and Threeways secondary students under Lucy Knibb's direction. We helped with the formation and installation of the piece and added a few electronics and lighting. We also used the surround speaker and projection system in the studio to rotate some audio recordings and visuals of the creation of the piece.
This was a great project to be part of and the students involved were rightly very proud of the outcome.
The Musii - Threeways School, Bath
Threeways purchased a Musii a little while back now and have had some great sessions with it. It has 3 inflatable prongs with built in distance sensors and LED lighting and makes musical sounds as you press them in. The software runs on a little built in Linux machine and it is all self contained with an amp and speaker inside meaning it also vibrates. I always find that sound needs to be local like this for a meaningful experience, rather than coming out of a speaker over there on a wall which can be a little abstract. Since we have had the unit it has been updated to make the sounds less discordant which has helped, but the only other issue we have had is access. Wheelchairs can not get very close to it, but the company are very open to critique and they are apparently looking at something more lap based. Personally, I'd love these to be coming directly out of the floor or the wall!
