It's getting immersive in here

Performed some surgery on a webcam

Mapping pixels today at ThirdRoom in Asheville. Exciting to see some progress on several new installations

One of our Urchins in Reno at Sierra Arts Foundation

Designing some improved pivot arms for the Urchins #kineticart

Illoominated 2 weaves threads of laser light in a tribute to the first programmer, Ada Lovelace, and the hidden connection between looms and computers.

#lightsculpture

Setting up at PDXWLF

We got to kick it with the artist Saleam today as we coordinated our installation for PDXWLF. Grateful to be working with such a talented artist.

Urchin #2

Testing programming #wipart #ledart #lightsculpture #fastled

WIP nearly complete...

Urchin mechanisms

Some more progress on the Urchins. #wipart #lightsculpture

First motion test after assembly. There's still about 15 pounds of LEDs and acrylic rods to go on, so we'll see if it can carry the weight.

More WIP BTS on the Urchins project

Lighting up. First light test with an #esp32 s3 and #fastled

For this, Elegoo ABS-Like 3.0 Pro, mostly because it's cheap and translucent. For functional parts I've been liking Nova3D Tough Washable but it doesn't come in clear.

Threads closeup

NPT thread testers from the resin printer for the Urchin sculptures. Crazy how you and print ready-to-use threads that don't even need cleanup from a tap

More #3dprinted resin parts for the Urchins

They would have named it after the part of the animal it came from but McAnus just didn't have the same ring to it.

Many more laser cans on the way

#3dprinted ASA smoothed with acetone vapor.

WIP.

Coming to Portland Winter Light Festival this February...

Loving the ultra-matte finish on this Nova3D #resin. Makes these photos look like renderings. #3dprinting

What a way to wrap up the year! Paris Hilton invited us to projection-map her new home in California for their Christmas get together. #projectionmapping #holidayprojectionmapping #touchdesigner
