Galaxy, 2006
Commissioned by Ontario Science Center, Ontario,
Canada
Galaxy is a whimsical, interactive art installation.
It allows the viewer to control light patterns by touching a field
of soft and tactile electronic POM POMs and tufts. These textile
sensors are capacitive and measure the touch of the viewer. The
viewer controls the lighting effects and pattern by touching the
sensors. The sensors allow the viewer to dim or turn on and off
different light areas, creating a variety of patterns and effects
on the piece. Textile sensors are attached directly to the acrylic
background.
Media: Hand-made conductive sensors, conductive yarns, conductive
tape, felt, acrylic, wood, incandescent light, lighting control
circuitry. Four textile sensor areas. 48"w x 48"h.
