smartsurface 1.0 recap

The evolution is really amazing, from naked circuit to nicely fabricated arrays.

Learning to use arduino is a really good experience. I was interested for a while when I was in high school but did not move much further. I never thought it is so widely used in art design.

1. M rock: my first experience with arduino, show some M spirit. The featuring music is 'we will rock you'. the egg shell is processed by the weak acid from vinegar, so that it became more transparent for LED.

2. first 2D heliotropic smart surface : simple, but was the essential idea


3. first 3D sun tracking : Phaeton, very compact and sensitive design




4. Hex fabric: a district 9 style! This is the one our group really proud of , especially in one week. very organic feeling.

5. The cube: interactive art piece with solar power. This is a really solar powered (the first one in smartsurface history!)


6. Shy solar array: self-protective, heliotropic, interactive with beautiful shading.


I wound image, if all of those prototypes are fabricated as the standard of the final project, and increase its volume or number of unit by 100 times, it will be very very impressive!
