Me too! He made tactile sensors out of pennies and popsicle sticks...Bravo, sir.

It's like the lite-brite of programmable LED matrices! It's available at www.adafruit.com

3D projection using only a projector, a computer, and string. nuts. open source, with code and construction directions, build your own.

this is kinda cool for the low tech materials being used.

This guy made a hearing game out of an arduino, now you can play ping pong with out much effort.

enjoy!

Perhaps this is mesmerizing because I'm tired.

spotlight tracks people and then shoots and audio stream at them that says random things.

and heres a link to interact with the piece, but i am not sure if it is currently up and running.

and on Medialab Prado

I found this little baby out, it creates virtual blobby forms in physical space, with full manipulation and...well just watch it HERE.

well kinda, but what if you did make a giant reactable and put the patterns on your shoes...eh..ehhhh.

at the bottom are several links like this one, that are very cool to surf you will find very beautiful stuff like that.
And by the way Spain has good places like Medialab or the master of digital arts, that my friend did. I don't know how spanish you need to know but it's easy to learn specially in country like spain and more in Barcelona or Madrid and studying is CHEAP overseas. hasta pronto amigos.

That's what these guys wrote...

Death Machine Final Evolution is the epitome of a home security device (with limitless applications). The latest in a series of Arduino programmed pojectile launchers, Death Machine F.E. fuses a trio of servo motors, a Nerf gun, and a makeshift control panel (two potentiometers and a push button) to ultimately perfect a pennetrating application of engineering technology. Mounting a Nerf sniper rifle on a rotating platform (bolted to a tripod) allows for a two dimensional rotational axis of over 100 degrees. This base motor is synched with a corresponding potentiometer for user control. A second servo motor was tied to one end of the platform, enabling the gun to adjust vertically for an optimal aiming experience. This servo is similarly linked to a potentiometer. The final trigger servo employs hybrid programing for an clean, smooth shot.

RICHARD BOX stuck 1301 tubes in the dirt under an electrical pylon carrying 400,000 volts. literally using the Earth as a "ground", the tubes lit up using only dispersed radiant electricity from the overhead lines.

Superfluid vs Particle from jimi hertz on Vimeo.

This is definitely my favorite TUIO project I've seen. I strongly suggest you turn off the video's sound, and turn on something like My Bloody Valentine, Boards of Canada, Nadja, Servile Sect, Ben Frost, etc. although the Masked User's actions will be incongruent with such a soundscape. Anyone want to help me build one of these?

Uses tilt switches and PIR sensors (Passive Infared).

here's something that looks like it wouldn't blow my mind too much to try to do.

Tom Igoe, who wrote Physical Computing and Making Things Talk, and teaches at Tisch ITP, set up the first Mega project I've seen yet. controlling 128 LED's to play pong with two potentiometers. On Make, with videos. and here is a link to Tom's description of the project, the code is kind of insane.

HOLY CRAP. it's the Arduino MEGA. 54 freakin digital I/O's, 16 analog inputs, jesus.

rest of the info here.

buy it here. Come on, it's only $65.

oh and Arduino IDE 0015 is released. hard to keep up these days.

so it ain't Arduino, but all you animators will probably get a kick out of this. the code problem is crazy, getting the snakes to pass over each other.

Hey let's all hurry up and get tickets to Eindhoven.

OP_ERA: Sonic Dimension is an immersive and interactive installation designed as a music box.

The box is a black, open cube (three walls of 3x3m each) filled with hundreds of visually identical violin-like strings. Tuned with the specific tension, each virtual string vibrates with a visual-sound frequency (light and sound waves) that varies according to its relative position and mode of interaction.

In OP_ERA: sonic dimension there are two modes of interaction. In the first case, the input interface is a set of microphones that collect the user’s sounds. When a microphone picks up a sound, the software analyses, filters and converts it into equivalent visual outputs, frequencies vibrating as strings.

In the second case, the input interface is an array of sensors. Used to detect the user’s position this interface allows the system to interpret any action as a gravitational force. For example, when the user points to a string set, the action not only vibrates the selected strings, but it also changes the shape of space-time.

The aim of this project is to research the geometry of sonic spaces and to develop sonic interfaces.

Exhibited for the first time at bitforms gallery, Daniel Rozin's "Peg Mirror" comprises 650 circular wooden pieces that are cut on an angle. Casting shadows by twisting and rotating in unison, wooden pegs forming concentric circles surround a small central camera. The mirrored image produced in this work is activated by software authored by Rozin that processes video signals and breaks up imagery geometrically, seemingly pixel by pixel. The silently moving wood components in this piece flicker like jewels or coins in the spotlight, challenging our notions about what constitutes a "digital object".

Circuit Bending ooooohhhh

Toni Dove's project Spectropia is a freakishly huge interactive video project which incorporates all original video and programming. This project started in the late 1998 and is still being developed. Throughout her progress Dove has exhibited individual series of the project in art galleries, museums and schools across the US and Europe. Below is part of this project which shows a character's dance in the film as choreographed by the viewer's own motion.

This is a computer that is set up to read, report, print and shred smap emails.

CIRCUIT BENDING WITH ARDUINO!!!
this seems like a fairly simple mechanism, programming/code also appears relatively decipherable; probably similar to what Loud Noises does in their performances.

this one is dedicated to clayton and francis. seems kind of uneccessary, but still pretty cool.

AAAHHH!!!

I See Beats from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.

‘I See Beats’ is an interactive installation by Kyle McDonald. It is a beat sequencer where you’ll need a few people with mobile phones to create a sound. You have to hold up your phone with the screen lit, a webcam tracks your position and puts your phone on the sequencer grid.

The LilyPad is an Arduino Board made for implementing into clothing. For instance, there is a project tutorial on the "Build Something!" page for a Turn Signal Hoodie which uses LED's implemented into a sweatshirt to create a visible signaling tool for bicylers.

http://web.media.mit.edu/~leah/LilyPad/index.html

Siftables were developed at the MIT MediaLab. This project exhibits some really interesting ways that objects can interact with each other.

as a note: Those of you interested in wireless technologies should do some thorough reading about fitting a bluetooth device to your arduino board.

If that last one didn't count I think this one will. It's kinda dumb, but also kinda funny. He did this with a Wii remote too.

You might recognize the name, Olafur Eliasson has been getting a lot of press this last year. This is a really simple piece, i don't know how electronic it is, but i think it's interactive and really beautiful too. Just a reminder that things don't have to get too complicated with all this technology. Enjoy

Oh boy, a whole archive of stuff to do with your Arduino. Check it out!

Make: Blog

Edit: Woops, there's already a link to the website, but now it's all in front of you.

kinetic sculpture

Check this out it looks really sweet. I'm not too sure how they did it but the illusion it creates looks amazing. Might give people some ideas.

She also has a piece where an arduino is stitched into her clothing and takes a picture everytime her heartbeat is over 120 bpm. This piece has mirrors on the ground and shining them upwards triggers video that will play on the mirror and follow it around.
Mirrors

yall have probably heard of these guys before, they played at the harrison fort a while back. just cool electronics and noise stuff, fun things on the website.

loud objects

I found Christian Moeller on this webpage vvork. It is a very interesting webpage for art in general.
Oldschool but Coolschool would be for me the Light Blaster: Immaterial Membrane. (faster youtube version) It's only from the 90ties, should be 80ies. It's probably Arduino free.

Newer is do not touch (youtube version).A little gimmicky but funny. As well as Nosy.

Hey, this website deals alot with DIY electronics, and some arduino stuff its worth a look at, they also post ideas for projects they haven't done yet, somewhat like a challenge.

Hack a Day

by means of a theremin and an arduino, touching the plants makes them sing.

i do not understand- BUT i like it. though, i'm not sure if plants like fancy hands sticking their ways in between their leaves.

sing plant

This guy was building a robot and wanted a way that others could visually tell they were to close. He hooked a distance sensor up to an arduino and LED and went to town. Green means you are a safe distance away, yellow is a cautionary warning, a red signals the robot to move away . Here is a short youtube video of him testing it.

The WiiMote front sensor has been modified to track 532nm light, rather than the normal IR.

Software on the PC converts the information from the WiiMote into MIDI controller data - this is merged (using MIDIOX and MIDI-Yoke) with the trigger pulses coming from the harp and fed to the impOSCar synth.

I'm not quite sure what this guy uses for some of these pieces, but there interesting none the less.

and may also be of interest to anyone in the jitter class too.

Lozano

Sorry there is no video... but the concept I think is cool

This woman used an accelerometer as a motion censor to track how often she rolled when she was sleeping.

Sleep Tracker

The Rockometer

Pressure sensors hooked up to a decorative display meter showing how much rock a concert actually has.

Sorry guys. Here's the click-able link. I'm still figuring this all out.

Spencer Finch

The guy has some nice work. Not too much of it uses arduinos, but this one uses sensors to capture wind currents at Walden Pond, then transfer the data to the gallery where this fan board mimics that wind. Kinda cool.

http://www.spencerfinch.com/view/?group=installations

Wall sensor that moves like water, changes to motion of hands.

I don't know if this uses a micro-controller but it uses a sensor, and software written by the artist, Daniel Rozin. It's a nice way to segway wood and traditional sculptural materials with technology.

peg mirror

Pro Tip: Don't look like a tard playing with a Wii controller. This dude used the ardurino to move, increase and decrease the size of a light with the Wii controller:

Also: Robots.

You can see David Gurman's work on his website. His recent project "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was recently featured by Make Mag.

Media Mirror is an interactive video installation, in which over 200 channels of live cable television are continuously arranged in real-time to form a mosaic representation of anyone that stands in front of it.

I don't know how this works, but I want one.

So, I know we all had a nice crash course through Soldering, but if u need some pointers that u can control, rewind, and replay....just click the link, its a good ole ~~10:43~~ 19 minute MAKEcast

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzyJfTLtE7E

most everything these guys play out of is custom made electronics, they do all their own programming through micro-controllers, and have numerous upon numerous amounts of sound producing equipment that they just fuck around with.
saw them in arizona a while back, and when they performed they encouraged whoever was willing to come participate, collaboratively making noise.

this may be helpful.

Kind of cool idea, could be expanded on nearly endlessly.
