Madt 304 Milestone Project 1 Plan: Invasive

For the Milestone Project I wanted to build a small sound installation imitating critical habitats, to reinforce awareness about climate change and for viewers to have a sense of eco-responsibility. Entitled "Invasive" it refers to the consequences of human developments and disturbances within natural environments such as pollution, improper land management and exhaustion of finite ecological resources.

This installation wants to re-create these habitats with the absence of natural fauna and recreating a fleeting memory of them through machines. Invasive is an Sound Installation consisting of multiple solenoids embedded in a small artificial marsh-like habitat programmed to mimic the sounds created by fauna such as Insects, Amphibians and Small Birds.

These solenoids have a clicking sound when powered

and potentially(Atleast that is what I'm hoping) we can recreate the sounds by increasing the frequency of the clicks through PWM?

Percussive sounds may also be created by making the solenoids hit metal plates/nails.

Current Issues.

I have tested around this week how I can make the circuit work and I think there's some issues with using a relay and delay times of the solenoid. I probably need a controller of some kind? If the input delay is lower than 500ms there's not enough time for the solenoid to reset?

I connected it the same way as the lamp-relay from an earlier blog post.

OBDF310 Milestone Project 1: Stacked Slices

My current sliced model for this weeks blogpost. I wanted to test modelling an object in Rhino first and using the mesh as the starting point for the contour slices in grass hopper. I ended up experimenting on different extrusion depths and the vector direction for the slices. Modularity of grasshopper allows for rapid iteration and gives me a couple of choices to pick from. I decided on the vector slices along the y-axis which gave me a very simplified version of the bird but still recognizable. Rough model doesn't need to be detailed because the contour slices simplifies everything else.

REPLICATED/REMEDIATED: MOLD POSITIVES & MATCH PLATE

Last Supper 2023 Medium: Optimistic Students, Instructor, Acrylic, Plaster, Tape Site-Specific Performance We reached the end to this project and were building plaster mould's and finally some traumatic experiences with slip casting and lots of waiting. Good soup <3 We agitate plaster in water to facilitate an exothermic reaction that would lead into it solidifying. Its a great experience like making chowder or adding starch into boiling water except the water is freezing. Finishing this plaster mould. Before slip casting ensure that the mould plates are fully dry, once that is complete start pouring up to the rim and wait for the clay to precipitate. On the first try the clay did form around the plaster, mine but did not really dry but the first once is always di...
