A few options here as an alternative to traditional fabric screen projection. String curtain allows mobility between spaces and creates a different atmosphere. Compare prices as DIY version might work out more budget friendly than big chunk of fabric.

Here is a good tutorial for a simple stepper motor set up, with wheel attached to 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and a driver board. If the power supply goes above 300mA it's better to use an external battery rather than drawing power directly from Arduino, which could cause damage to the board.
Use #include <Stepper.h> from Arduino library,
and the code below provided by Michael Schoeffler (link above to the original blog)
#define STEPS 2038 // the number of steps in one revolution of your motor (28BYJ-48)
Stepper stepper(STEPS, 8, 10, 9, 11);
void setup() {
// nothing to do
}
void loop() {
stepper.setSpeed(15); // 1 rpm
stepper.step(2038); // do 2038 steps -- corresponds to one revolution in one minute
delay(5000); // wait for one second
stepper.setSpeed(15); // 6 rpm
stepper.step(-2038); // do 2038 steps in the other direction with faster speed -- corresponds to one revolution in 10 seconds
}
Some articles about analog input and audio files, however, the sensors I have are all digital sensors. The process of setting up on/off trigger will be a bit different. But in terms of how to upload an audio file to become the response, here are some suggestions for reference:

It hasn’t been easy to find tutorials for recreating real life effects, as most of the articles online are designed for Unreal Engine or 3Dlight. It’s important to understand the physics behind it and experiment with the angles and lights. At this stage I’m still unsure about whether to get some waterproof lights for pools and ponds or directing a spotlight from above towards the water surface.
Research for stainless steel trays or containers to hold water, such as example below:

Poetic Lab has managed to produce a product that recreates the light and water movement for small scale wall projections
Initial test begins from the simple button on/off switch that turns on thr LED light on pin 13.
Code below:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
} else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}

Notes on how to install a pressure mat:
The mats as supplied have four connection wires at one corner; two are the alarm circuit and the other two are the tamper circuit. The two tamper wires can be identified using a continuity tester - they should form a circuit. Physically fit the mat as follows.

Shiva Feshareki played at student run event Revolution at Goldsmiths Church this March. Really enjoyed her music style and the visuals that came with it. The setup was relatively intimate and all the visual identities that came along with the performance pieces were very on point.
Here is the link to her website with some of the live music she did:
https://www.shivafeshareki.co.uk/nts-radio-1/
Reminded me of the time when I was in Beijing's Dada bar with my colleagues and everyone was sweating in the summer heat. The music was so raw, the unedited noise buzzing at the back of my ears hours after I left that venue. A memory I haven't quite been able to trace back, until I saw Shiva Feshareki.

Some notes from the 2 hour workshop with James using Atom and firebase as host.
This workshop took place after the initial hour of introduction to basic elements, using a mixture of javascript and css style sheets on Atom. Upload contents on firebase, an online host providing data storage with ease of mind - a lot easier with managing new contents or updating existing materials once the structure is set up. Need to run terminal and start the localhost.

Using recycled polyester, nylon or wool fabric to create cloud visuals, with soft sponge in between the fabrics and wood panel base to create more bounce back effects. Texture needs to assemble wadding or soft toy stuffing.

Test samples can be found on ebay, amazon, or other major online retailers. Quality vary and need to bare in mind the softness and stretchiness. Some do not tend to stick together very well. Photos will follow.
Bamboo has high elasticity and it's heat resistant property allows it to stay in shape when hot water passes through. Below are some initial research to design bamboo into the series of automated interactions in Living Heritages. The cultural connection is strong with bamboo being seen as one of the fundamental materials heavily used in Chinese and Japanese craftsmanship. It's easy to find evidence of bamboo crafts from building houses, furniture, to daily utensils such as cups and toothbrushes.
Mechanical properties of bamboo can be found here:
http://bambus.rwth-aachen.de/eng/PDF-Files/Mechanical%20properties%20of%20bamboo.pdf
Quote from the document above about elasticity:
“Bamboo is able to resist more tensile than compression. Slim tubes are in this occasion superior, too. Inside the silificated outer skin you find axial-parallel extremly elastical fibres with a tensile strength up to 40kN/cm². As a comparison: extremly strong wood fibres can resist a tension up to 5 kN/cm² and steel St37 can resist as highest possible a tension of 37 kN/cm² (ultimate stress limit/breaking limit!) ”
In the video below, it shows the process of making a bamboo chair. From 1:22 the video demonstrates how to bend bamboo using heat. (blow torch)
For waterproofing, traditional methods include applying 2-3 layers of rubber tree oil to protect bamboo from moisture. Detailed information about how to construct a bamboo building can be found below:
