intro to new media arts
Choosing an idea was not as difficult as I thought considering the shape of a flower Is decently easy :). I thought it would have been fun to add fun colors too the petals.

I wanted to create an interactive piece where it is shaped like a butterfly, and when you make its wings flap, the LEDs turn on. The switch aspect in this project is the loop made out of conductive fabric tape touching the copper tape to close the circuit and turn the LEDs on. Supplies: 4 red,…
My initial idea for this project was to create something that would be helpful in some way for me. I began by thinking about making some sort of mechanism that would somehow remind about items or things that I usually forget to take like my wallet or keys. Through some brainstorming I ended up with…
For my creative switch I wanted to make a necklace that lit up. Specifically I really wanted the clasp to serve as the switch. So the motion of closing the necklace would light up the LEDs. The LEDs also take place of gems/charms that are usually on a necklace. Materials: Necklace 3 LEDs Wire (green…
When I think about the concept of a switch, turning a light on and off, I think about my terrible grammar growing up. “Open the lights,” My mom would tell me. “Close the lights,” I’d imitate her. So I thought about an action that would mean “To open and close.” I also thought about light…
The idea of this project was to bring inanimate objects to life an give them a meaning that most people don’t associate them with, such as trash being involved in an ecosystem. this instructable will show you how to attach one piece of recyclable. Materials: Double male-ended wires (3 per neopixel strip) Neopixel strips Adafruit…
Inspired by Iron Man, I wanted to make an Iron Man hand blaster. Not a blaster in a sense that it can destroy things but rather to blast light so basically a hand light. In the movies, Iron Man usually opens his hand to power up his hand blaster and then closes it to turn…
For this project, I made a circuit on the lid of my laptop that turns four LEDs on at the motion of opening the laptop, creating a cool light effect. The chain is conductive and closes the circuit when it touches a loop of conductive wire attached to the cover. Materials: Laptop 4 LEDs…
For this project I attempted making glasses that resemble the exaggerated glasses in anime by making two LEDs light up when touching the middle part of the frame. Due to technical issues, the LEDs light up when you press on the right leg of the frame. Here is how: Materials: Any type of glasses frame…
This is a walkthrough of what I did in an attempt to acquire a cool glowing sword (who doesn’t love a cool sword?). I had several problems that I will include ideas on how to mitigate or work around on a future attempt as well as what I actually did. Materials: Hollow plastic sword Six…
Hi, I made a creative switch circuit , in which the flower that is made up from LEDs light up when air is blown on the fabric material or when the fabric is pressed. Step1. Take all the material listed below: (a) RGB LED’s. ( b)Stranded wire. (c)Battery (4 of 1.5V) (d)Battery holder(AA4). (e)Conductive Fabric. (f)…
For the creative switch project I decided to make it mechanically inclined. The device consists of a rack and pinion assembly. For those who may not know what a rack and and pinion is, it’s a gear and a flat bar that mesh together. It’s most known use is in the steering columns of many…
