Drawings

Here's the images for my two built items.
The rotating sound controller:



















And the Scraper










Both images come from analyzing video of the item in question and pulling out the core movement involved.

Shadows and (in) Motion

Here's a B&W collage image of the shadow projection of my rotating machine. This image is the result of combining the shadows produced while in operation. The band where the light sensors get placed is clearly shown as it is the only area with any effective amount of shadowing.

Responding

In response to the questions presented to us on Friday by Patrick.
What does my machine do?
Simply put it vocalizes visual inputs.
What is it about?
The rhythm of movement.
What is its purpose?
Synaesthetia.
What is its site?
Pretty much anywhere people move.

So far, so good

I've managed to get the "movement" portion of my project functionally complete, now all I need is to rig up my screen and get the light controlled circuits nailed down.
Here's a couple videos showing the items in question.

Schematic

Here's a quick plan view schematic of the kind of thing I'm working towards.
