Work overview

The “SIPER” group is reproposing parts from a computer mouse with the addition of turbine blades to create a wind driven installation. We are using a photo interrupter sensor to provides speed and direction data. It is combined with a small turbine, to detect forced movements from user's breathing. We want the user to be able to give his energy into the work.

We have almost finished the wind driven installation, only need to refine the form. We decided to use a black “grid box” and a copperware to represent energy.

The interface is still under construction we are making an abstract city that lights up every time the user blows his energy into the work. We are working with Quartz composer and trying to find a java script to control the vertical remote.
