Workshop: Environmental Response

In the days from January 24th to 30th, I participated in a small workshop called “Environmental Response 2010″. The idea behind the project was to create installation art that could act on sensory input from the environment. It was a workshop for students of Medialogy and Architecture & Design.

The Environmental Response workshop, 2010

During the workshop my group created an installation that used sensory data to control multiple servos, created like a delta robot (link [Youtube.com]) using an Arduino as microcontroller (link [Arduino.cc]). On the Arduino a small state machine was written to control the behaviors of the system.
