Heres the code we have so far for our Lumenotbots.
If you get the chance, have a look over it before we head over to the Workantile on Sunday.
We will meet there at noon.
We will be coding with Atmel Studio 6, free download but windows only (I’m going to try virtual machine it).
Seeyall then!
This evening, Professor Michael Gurevich’s PAT 452 students presented their interactive design projects.
The students presented the devices that they have been working on for the first half of semester. These devices were physically interactive devices that musicians could use to create music and sound experiences, beyond keyboards and mouses, and perform in front of an audience.
A great presentation by Professor Gurevich and his students!
Elona Van Gent’s Creative Process (UARTS 250) course is gearing up to make digital collage work with Adobe Photoshop. One of my favorite artists work fell into examples of how the human face can be broken down into something unrecognizable – American painter Chuck Close.
An interesting fact I learned today was that Close has face blindness where he doesn’t recognize faces. Perhaps this is an advantage for breaking his portraits down into circles and Xs?

Every Sunday in the month of March, Festifools are hosting their Luminary making workshops at the Workantile on South Main Street from 10am to 5pm.
Mark Tucker the organiser kindly agreed to having us show up and work on our project alongside those creating their own luminaries. I popped in to see the space last Sunday and it looked like a lot of fun with some cool lantern sculptures and lots of people milling about.
So we will be there this Sunday to code and show off our Lumenotbots in progress, come along!
Just to let y’all know that we will be having our Lumenotbot public workshops at All Hands Active in downtown Ann Arbor at 5pm on Friday 22nd of March.
The workshop will start at 5pm and we have the space until 9pm.
We will most likely have another workshop on Friday 29th too.
So pop it into your diaries!
