2020
Physical Computing with Arduino and Max
Pinwheel (2020) is a breath interface, based on Arduino with 5 DC motors. As a person who enjoys observing the invisible and expressing it, I materialized wind through physical computing. The front foils flap in the wind and touch the foil behind them. As soon as the foils meet, they function as switches, and the pinwheels start spinning. When the wind stops and the foils fall off each other, the pinwheels stop spinning soon. I wanted to give a pinwheel, which means wind, to everyone who felt stuffy, including me, as the time to stay indoors was longer due to the pandemic. The wind is made by breath and connects pinwheels to people as interactive art.
