Observation instrument exploration- Time 2020
The sun and the colors of the sky have been one of everyday inspiration for me, in this exploration I decided I need to play with the idea of how do we believe that the time pass by by taking in count how the colors of the sky are constantly changing of colors and how the magic happens when we look at the sky and start to follow the passing of time by guiding ourselves for the colors of the sky. In this idea I wanted to replicate how the different colors of the sky change whenever the time pass by. How we see the colors when the time is just starting and on the other side how the day is finishing.
Design Process
The Design Process of this small light installation was created in a home setup with simple available materials such as a canvas, paper, small pieces of wood and carboard. On the electronic side, this project was created using Arduino uno, LED neopixel rings and a small OLED Screen.
The main idea of this small light installation was to have the colors divided in a way that this emulates the difference of the day and how the sky look at that period of time.
Finally, this a small video of the installation.
Final Words
For my next iteration I would like to create a bigger structure developed with thick materials, I will increase the size of the experience and add geolocation to the circuit system, in this way the clock would be more accurate and will take in count the time and the weather on the exact location. Also I would experiment on how to create the structure that allow the effect of the shadows at anytime of the day.
