Blinkybugs: Blinkybugs are electro-mechanical "insects" that respond to their environment by blinking their LED eyes. Despite their lifelike appearance, they can be easily assembled from a few simple parts.
LED Art: In these pieces, LEDs are used to cast shifting patterns of color on a translucent canvas. The LEDs drift in and out of phase, creating endlessly changing images.
Drop by our workshop in the Maker Shed, and make your own Blinkybug or one-of-a-kind LED artwork!
