UpComing:
The Fire Arts Festival is
a spectacular open-air exhibition of interactive
fire art, performances, and shows off the largest
collection of outdoor fire sculptures - many that are taller than two
stories. It is held in Oakland, CA and is truly amazing. It's happening
between July 15th to the 18th in the evening and is put on by the
Crucible, an organization that teaches all kinds of fire-based art, including glass blowing, welding, forging, and fire-based art. It's one our favorite events of the year. Find out more here.
We Did It:
TechAsArt projected computer generated video in downtown Santa Cruz to amaze and astound viewers. The project consisted of creating 3D animations which was projected from a donated Meter Maid car that the team severely modified. This allowed us to quickly and easily go to new locations. The Future Engineers learned about optics, power electronics, programming, and creating 3D models and animation. Thanks to all of you for your support and all of the enthusiasm and brilliance of the team !
Spotlight:
The Orb Swarm project is only one of the amazing examples of combining technology and art.
Only in Silicon Valley do creative engineers get
together and ask, what is the most challenging
and fun thing we can build? The Orb Swarm team
created several large metal spheres that move autonomously
on their own and know where they are and where
to move next. Read more about what they've done
and how they did it here.
News:
LEDs & Ham Radio
is a project that we are working on now. We found a few brilliant ham radio engineers and are combining their help with the artisitic vision of students to build a remote controlled, moving vehicle installation. The target demonstration is the Zero One Conference in San Jose, CA, slated for August 2009. More about this high tech art event can be found
