PAPER LAMP
Gently rotate the handhold to set the layered paper scene in motion - each turn dynamically adjust the light's breath and color, transforming the space into a dreamy, drifting galaxy. A poetic interplay of touch and light.
V1 | DRIFTING GALAXY
- Date: 2021 DEC
- SoftWare: Rhino; Photoshop; Illustrator
- HardWare: Arduino Nano; Potentiometer; Arcrylic
- Description: An arrow that shoots through the sky, and brings the stars.
Background
I have a paper. I have a lamp. UHH, Lamp Paper; I have a bearing. I have a shaft. UHH, Moving Wheel; I have a Paper Lamp. I have a Moving Wheel. UHH, Rotatable Paper Lamp.
Research
The first step focused on getting everything together and lighting it up.
Stable movement: To achieve a strong, stable, and smooth rotaaion, the final solution is to use stainless steel as the frame, and shaft as connections and the bearing for moving in the rail.
Paper Coving: The paper should have sufficient thickness and strength, meanwhile, it is necessary to make sure that a certain amount ratio of light could transmit through.
V2 | TINY PLANET
- Date: 2022 JAN-FEB
- SoftWare: Rhino; Photoshop; Illustrator
- HardWare: Seeeduino; Potentiometer; Arcrylic
- Description: Two people roaming on a different tiny planet will meet in the end.
Research
The research of the second version focus on reducing the workload of welding and assembly, especially the use of glue.
Moving On PCB: To reduce the workload of welding the microcontroller, potentiometer, and LED trip together, the Moving On PCB was designed. However, this first one is too big to put inside, so...Let's carve the PCB barehand.
Tiny Planet: Two tiny worlds that will never meet.
V3 | Link TouchDesigner
- Date: 2022 MAR-APR
- SoftWare: TouchDesigner; Arduino IDE
- HardWare: Seeeduino; Potentiometer; Arcrylic
- Description: Two people roaming on different tiny planets will meet in the end.
