Create Simple Motions with Arduino

Sweeping motions:

http://www.dummies.com/computers/arduino/how-to-create-sweeping-movements-with-the-arduino/

 

Create motions for fans to move around and create wind. In combination with a thermometer. So as temperature rises to a certain point, it will trigger the motion.

Lot Essay (Description of the original object):

“Elephants, though not native to Japan, were objects of great curiosity and were depicted in a variety of Japanese art from the Edo to Meiji period.
The white elephant is revered in Buddhism as a symbol of strength and high morality. The six-tusk white elephants in particular represent the vehicle of the Bodhisattva Puxian (Samantabhadra) and are associated with the birth of the Buddha Shakyamuni.”

Second Description: Write down vaguely what it is. Be less specific, more generic

A medium sized container that holds water, transfers heat and about to bring water within to boil. 

 

Third Description: More abstract/alternative version of the second description

An object with hollow space in the middle, easy to carry. Uneven surface, and has loose bits. Has sharp edges at the front and more smooth towards the back. 

 

Cropped Hoodie from Recycled Materials

15th October 2017

 

Some ideas for making a cropped hoodie using recycled materials. Ideally it also has the water-proof quality. The fabric can be natural in colour and texture as my drawing will be printed on top. The material I have in mind, as least for the inner layer, takes inspiration from Crumpled City Maps, 100% waterproof, super light and soft, hard to tear and can be easily reshaped.
