ArduinoRadio

I started by collecting discarded vintage radios and disassembling them to look at the hardware and see if they were still functional or not. I fixed some components so that it would work again, and then attached a servo motor to the tuner and programmed it on arduino so that it would rotate unpredictably to create noises and sounds, both mechanical and radio waves.

The end result was a sculptural form with different hardware parts attached to it that would create sounds depending on the light intensity and also unpredictably. Most of the noises were just unrecognisable radio sounds, with the rare occurrences of actual music being played.
