Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
Anomaly

Location:   Expo Red   

Anomaly will be a kinetic sculpture and adaptive sound and light controller. The sculptural component will be made of scrap bicycles and scrap pipe, welded and bolted into the shape of a tree. Bike wheels in the horizontal plane, suggesting branches, will be fitted with magnets and sensors, allowing them to act as the giant knobs of a huge electronic instrument. The sensors on the wheels as well as other sensors in the rest of the installation will connect to a MIDI controller, that will connect to a computer. Max/MSP programs will generate sounds that will respond to the environment and the movement of the wheels. Anomaly is in process, we will show a prototype.
