The Forty-Part Motet, Janet Cardiff (2001) Janet Cardiff is a Canadian artist who often works with her husband George Bures Miller. One of her most most recognized works is The Forty-Part Motet, whom she invented on her own. The piece consist of 40 speakers, each playing a different voice part (tone). The tones alter from…
Brandon Lee ART 150 | NMA Creative Switch Project Food Metal Detector My creative switch project came in the form of tongs that serve as a ‘food metal detector.’ Based on a terrifying experience of finding a staple in a tub of rice, I was inspired to create a device that would allow users to…
1) Found a box that opens and closes to signify a door 2) added conductive tape to the edge of the box so that when it opens it touches the wire and coducts electricity to the battery therefore closing the circuit 3) linked 4 LED’s like protestors protecting the message “give us your huddled masses”…
Light-up Toy Car For my Creative Switch Project, I made a toy car that has light-up LED headlights. As the car moves forward, the circuit becomes closed and the LEDs turn on. 1. First, design the shape of the toy car you want to make (or, you can find some toy wooden cars online). Then,…
LED Shoe Start with a pair of shoes. Preferably one with a tag on the lip of the shoe to hide the battery. Remove the shoe laces. Ideally the LED will light up for every step that you take. So, to create a switch that does that we’ll use pressure sensitive material. ( black squares…
For my creative switch I chose to make a puzzle using a 9 volt battery and three red LEDs. I was able to find a small puzzle image on google and paste it to a piece 1/8″ thick wood I had lying around. I made an outline using an exacto knife and traced the outline…
For my creative switch project I decided to make a “Night Club“. What you will need wire, 9V battery, cardboard, a box cutter, wire cutters, wire strippers, tape, glue, a resistor, two (2) blue LEDs, a printer, and an imagination. In doing so I had made a series circuit with 2 blue LED…
Materials Used: Wooden boards, soldering kit, circuit marker and paper, multiple LED’s in various colors, wiring, and a battery pack. Goal: We wanted to create a board where, when a certain ’emotion’ was applied to it with the circuit marker, the LED that corresponds to that emotion in the ‘eyes’ of the board would light…
Gabriel Mueller I connected 3 LED Diodes to a 9 volt battery I then created a wire frame for my octopus, allowing room within the head for the wire to fit in. I covered the entirety of the wire frame with paper-mache. Leaving a hole at the bottom for the electronic pieces to be placed….
Materials: Old Dictionary, Tape, Conductive Tape, Conductive Thread, Two Red Lights, & 6 Volt Battery, One Resistor, Aluminum Foil My goal for this project was to have the book light up when its closed. From the beginning I wanted the design to be clean so I hid the battery pack in the bind. Then began…
First I taped the conductive side of the back so that it only lights up when the nail clipper clips. Next I bent the metal so that it touches the clipper when it comes down. Tada… My other light broke, couldn’t light up two.. 🙁
For my creative switch, I decided to turn on two LEDs by touching chopsticks together. In Korean culture, often metal chopsticks are used which is where I got the idea. Each LED was attached to the non-eating end of a chopstick. Follow these steps to make Light-up Chopsticks! The circuit that we will be constructing…
