Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
The ChakraTron
| Location: Dark Room |
Made of mostly recycled and repurposed materials, this crystal figure of enlightenment houses 124 MCU's and 360 rgb leds. Embedded touch sensors in the outraised palm control the patterns and seed the random number generator for a Magic 8 Ball-style fortune. An internet "karma relay" webcam allows the larger universe to influence the displayed fortune.

About the Maker(s)
Scott Gasparian
I am an Artist, Inventor and Teacher generally residing in the S.F. Bay Area. My creations are a combination of the latest in microcontroller technology and discarded and recycled objects. Repurposing old sewing machines, printers, broken glass, radios and such is my contribution to reducing global landfilling. Interactivity and synthesasia are favorite themes of mine requiring the visitor to think. Sculptures are available for rent and on comission and in limited edition series.
