First Date: Friday, 06.11.2020, 13:00

==Description==
'''Critical VR Lab II – Lab Work''' will give participants the possibility to work in the Digital Bauhaus Lab, after receiving an introduction to the Corona hygiene regulations.
Groups of maximal two students can choose between three time slots and work individually on two VR systems (HTC Vive + HighSpeed PC). Therefore, it will be possible for six students to work in the Digital Bauhaus Lab every week and with maximal 12 participants each student will be able to work in the Lab every second week. It will also be possible for participants to borrow one of five OculusGO VR glasses as well as one of three Ricoh Theta 360 cameras and use them to work on projects outside of the Digital Bauhaus Lab.
The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality concepts. It’s aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, a challenging medium which offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication, especially at times of the Corona Crisis which creates new challenges to the way we interact with each other. Please watch the video for more information.

==Recommended Requirements==
Applicants should have a basic knowledge of working with Unity, access to the Internet, a Computer and Headphones. It is preferred but not explicitly required to have accomplished Critical VR Lab I.

==Criteria for passing==
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki

GMU:Critical VR Lab I - Unity Introduction

2021-01-11T14:09:15Z

Gquinteros0717: /* 14.01.2021 */

Lecturer: [[Jörg Brinkmann]] 
Credits: 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]] 
Date: Thursdays, 15:30 – 18:30 
Venue: Online Seminar 
First Date: Thursday, 05.11.2020, 15:30

==Description==
'''Critical VR Lab I – Unity Introduction''' is a beginner module that offers an Introduction to the Unity game engine. The whole course will be taught online. Participants will be introduced to Unity through video tutorials, accompanied by PDFs and it will be possible to communicate through online meetings and individual consultations.

'''The course will be taught in two phases:''' 
In phase one participants will be introduced to an overview of the Unity interface and different techniques (Lights, Skyboxes, Prefabs, Timeline, Animation). The learning phase will be accompanied by lectures and discussions that are focused on finding strategies for dealing with the possibilities and challenges of working artistically with Game Engines and VR technologies. At the end of phase one, students will have created an experience with Unity and documented it on our GMU Wiki-Page. In phase two students are challenged to reflect, discuss, rethink and rework their Unity experience, based on individual research and experienced insights.

The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality concepts. It’s aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, a challenging medium which offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication, especially at times of the Corona Crisis which creates new challenges to the way we interact with each other. Please watch the video for more information.

==Recommended Requirements==
No previous knowledge of Unity or other 3D software is needed, but applicants should have access to the Internet, a Computer and Headphones.

==Criteria for passing==
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki. Also, complete the exercises and comply with the submission deadlines

Groups of maximal two students can choose between three time slots and work individually on two VR systems (HTC Vive + HighSpeed PC). Therefore, it will be possible for six students to work in the Digital Bauhaus Lab every week and with maximal 12 participants each student will be able to work in the Lab every second week. It will also be possible for participants to borrow one of five OculusGO VR glasses as well as one of three Ricoh Theta 360 cameras and use them to work on projects outside of the Digital Bauhaus Lab.
The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality concepts. It’s aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, a challenging medium which offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication, especially at times of the Corona Crisis which creates new challenges to the way we interact with each other. Please watch the video for more information.

==Recommended Requirements==
Applicants should have a basic knowledge of working with Unity, access to the Internet, a Computer and Headphones. It is preferred but not explicitly required to have accomplished Critical VR Lab I.

==Criteria for passing==
In order to successfully participate you will have to develop and document your own project on the GMU Wiki

GMU:The Weird

2019-04-18T14:16:47Z

Gquinteros0717: /* Student works */

Lecturer: [https://www.uni-weimar.de/kunst-und-gestaltung/wiki/Jörg_Brinkmann Jörg Brinkmann] 
Credits: 6 [[ECTS]], 4 [[SWS]] 
Date: Thursdays, 15:15 – 18:30 
Venue: [[GMU:Performance Platform|Performance Platform]], Digital Bauhaus Lab (Room 001) 
First meeting: Thursday, 11.04.2019, 15:15

==Description==

“Okay, this world is getting weirder and weirder and I’m hearing simulation theory almost everywhere” (someone on reddit.com)

“The simulation hypothesis or simulation theory proposes that all of reality, including the Earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would seem realistic enough to convince its inhabitants the simulation was real. The hypothesis has been a central plot device of many science fiction stories and films.” (Wikipedia on simulation hypothesis)

Nick Bostrom predicts in his book “Are you living in a computer simulation?” from 2003 that through enormous amounts of computing power that will be available in the future, later generations might run detailed simulations of their forebears or of people like their forebears.

With this information in mind, let’s turn it around and ask ourselves how a simulation of the far away future would look like. Since the world seems to get weirder and weirder how weird can it get? In the course we will create situations that can be experienced with VR-glasses or presented on video screens.

The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality. Its aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, an increasingly widespread medium which offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication.

The practical part will be an Introduction to the game engine Unity 3D, an introduction to working with HTC Vive VR-glasses, the Oculus GO VR-glasses, as well as introductions to photogrammetry, immersive sound and 360 video, body interaction through tracking, 3D modeling and animation.

We will also look into contemporary and digital art related to recent socio-political and media-philosophical topics. We will create an artistic discourse on the topic of VR which will be presented in the form of individual projects at the end of the semester.

GMU:Connecting Max to the World/Gracia Quintero

2019-04-07T15:32:02Z

Gquinteros0717:

==IDEA==

My idea is to control a small set of LED lights alongside with the music I program using MSP in order to create a visual sequence. I plan on building a small structure which is illuminated with a LED light strip smoothly alongside with the rhythm of the music, like you can see in the following videos:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrF_CfAFEY Color LED light bulb ] In this reference, the developer used a microphone in order to alternate the change of colors according to the information received by the microphone.

This is a much more simpler example of installation with only three LED lights, in the original video, the lights dance to the music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3hzYAJzOo Bottle LED light]

'''RESEARCH'''

[[Background search]]

==PROCEDURE==

'''FIRST ATTEMPT'''
In the first attempt, I tried using the 16 channel Relay Module and using the Christmas light tutorial. I was able to upload a code to it, but it wasn't being transmitted to the LED light installation.

<gallery>
File:Gracia1.jpg
File:Gracia2.jpg
File:Gracia3.jpg
File:Gracia4.jpg
</gallery>

It was a little frustrating, as it was the winter break and couldn't really move forward with this technique. I kept looking online for an easier way for me to be able to communicate Max and Arduino with the LED lights.

A little while later, I found a very helpful tutorial, which allowed me to communicate arduino with my set of LEDs. [https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/arduino-code]. I followed this tutorial and to my surprise, it really worked.

<gallery>
File:led-strips-ledstripfet.gif | This is the arduino connection I used as instructed by the tutotial
File:Gracia6.jpg | And this is my connection:
</gallery>

And here you can find the video of when it first worked.

{{#ev:youtube|HBzK3ENtR24|700x420}}

'''CONNECTING THE CODE TO MAX'''

In this point, I talked to my teacher Miga, and he gave me a little clue to try to use the old patch I had used in a previous exercise and try to connect it to the new code I had in the arduino software. I tried several ways, until I realized that the easiest way was exactly modifying the code I had already programed a while before.

So, here you have it: Max code, arduino code, and a video of the LED lights synchronized to any audio source the Computer's microphone detects.

'''FINAL PROCESS'''
Also seen in the website: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/overview

''There are two basic kinds of LED strips, the "analog" kind and "digital" kind. Analog-type strips have all the LEDs connected in parallel and so it acts like one huge tri-color LED; you can set the entire strip to any color you want, but you can't control the individual LED's colors. They are very very easy to use and fairly inexpensive.
''
The LED lights used in this project are analog ones.

https://i.postimg.cc/Qtn5J6cm/led-strips-analogstrip-t.jpg

''Because there are three LEDs in series, you cannot drive these LEDs from a 5V supply. The LED strips say "+12V" on them to mark the anode and that's the maximum voltage we suggest. Each segment of 3 LEDs draws approximately 20 milliAmperes from a 12V supply, per string of LEDs. So for each segment, there is a maximum 20mA draw from the red LEDs, 20mA draw from the green and 20mA from the blue. If you have the LED strip on full white (all LEDs lit) that would be 60mA per segment.''

https://i.postimg.cc/pdcBXQqw/led-strips-wires-t.jpg

I had to look for a 12V power supply that would be capable of powering up the whole system. I also has to solder cables from each RGB channel, and a 4th one for the power. Until it looked a like this:

Once the LED stripe was ready, I had to fix the arduino board and the breadboard in order to be able to control each LED channel individually. For this, I needed MOSFETS:

''Because these LED strips are very simple, we can easily use them with any microcontroller. Since each 'LED' pin may end up requiring an Amp or more to sink to ground, power transistors are required! Don't try to connect the pins directly to your everyday microcontroller, they will burn out and/or not work.

You can use any power NPN or N-Channel MOSFET, make sure the transistor is rated to be able to pass as much current as you need. For example, since we draw about 0.2Amps per channel per meter, if you have a 5 meter strip you will need to pass up to 1 Ampere per transistor. Get the beefy "TO-220" packages, not the dinky little guys. Make sure they look like this:''

And the connection in the breadboard goes like this:

https://i.postimg.cc/qvbmzd7D/led-strips-ledstripfet.gif

As you can see. Each cable we soldered to the LED stripe, was placed in the middle leg of each MOSFET. Each right led was connected to another cable that went to the channel 5, which is the main controller in the arduino code. And each left leg, was connected by bridge to the ground in the arduino board. The extra cable for the LED stripe power supply was not connected as shown in the picture, it was connected directly to the 12V power supply.

==IDEA==

My idea is to control a small set of LED lights alongside with the music I program using MSP in order to create a visual sequence. I plan on building a small structure which is illuminated with a LED light strip smoothly alongside with the rhythm of the music, like you can see in the following videos:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrF_CfAFEY Color LED light bulb ] In this reference, the developer used a microphone in order to alternate the change of colors according to the information received by the microphone.

This is a much more simpler example of installation with only three LED lights, in the original video, the lights dance to the music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3hzYAJzOo Bottle LED light]

'''RESEARCH'''

[[Background search]]

==PROCEDURE==

'''FIRST ATTEMPT'''
In the first attempt, I tried using the 16 channel Relay Module and using the Christmas light tutorial. I was able to upload a code to it, but it wasn't being transmitted to the LED light installation.

It was a little frustrating, as it was the winter break and couldn't really move forward with this technique. I kept looking online for an easier way for me to be able to communicate Max and Arduino with the LED lights.

A little while later, I found a very helpful tutorial, which allowed me to communicate arduino with my set of LEDs. [https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/arduino-code]. I followed this tutorial and to my surprise, it really worked.

And here you can find the video of when it first worked.

{{#ev:youtube|HBzK3ENtR24|700x420}}

'''CONNECTING THE CODE TO MAX'''

In this point, I talked to my teacher Miga, and he gave me a little clue to try to use the old patch I had used in a previous exercise and try to connect it to the new code I had in the arduino software. I tried several ways, until I realized that the easiest way was exactly modifying the code I had already programed a while before.

So, here you have it: Max code, arduino code, and a video of the LED lights synchronized to any audio source the Computer's microphone detects.

'''FINAL PROCESS'''
Also seen in the website: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/overview

''There are two basic kinds of LED strips, the "analog" kind and "digital" kind. Analog-type strips have all the LEDs connected in parallel and so it acts like one huge tri-color LED; you can set the entire strip to any color you want, but you can't control the individual LED's colors. They are very very easy to use and fairly inexpensive.
''
The LED lights used in this project are analog ones.

https://i.postimg.cc/Qtn5J6cm/led-strips-analogstrip-t.jpg

''Because there are three LEDs in series, you cannot drive these LEDs from a 5V supply. The LED strips say "+12V" on them to mark the anode and that's the maximum voltage we suggest. Each segment of 3 LEDs draws approximately 20 milliAmperes from a 12V supply, per string of LEDs. So for each segment, there is a maximum 20mA draw from the red LEDs, 20mA draw from the green and 20mA from the blue. If you have the LED strip on full white (all LEDs lit) that would be 60mA per segment.''

https://i.postimg.cc/pdcBXQqw/led-strips-wires-t.jpg

I had to look for a 12V power supply that would be capable of powering up the whole system. I also has to solder cables from each RGB channel, and a 4th one for the power. Until it looked a like this:

In this point, I talked to my teacher Miga, and he gave me a little clue to try to use the old patch I had used in a previous exercise and try to connect it to the new code I had in the arduino software. I tried several ways, until I realized that the easiest way was exactly modifying the code I had already programed a while before.

So, here you have it: Max code, arduino code, and a video of the LED lights synchronized to any audio source the Computer's microphone detects.

'''FINAL PROCESS'''
Also seen in the website: https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/overview

''There are two basic kinds of LED strips, the "analog" kind and "digital" kind. Analog-type strips have all the LEDs connected in parallel and so it acts like one huge tri-color LED; you can set the entire strip to any color you want, but you can't control the individual LED's colors. They are very very easy to use and fairly inexpensive.
''
The LED lights used in this project are analog ones.

''Because there are three LEDs in series, you cannot drive these LEDs from a 5V supply. The LED strips say "+12V" on them to mark the anode and that's the maximum voltage we suggest. Each segment of 3 LEDs draws approximately 20 milliAmperes from a 12V supply, per string of LEDs. So for each segment, there is a maximum 20mA draw from the red LEDs, 20mA draw from the green and 20mA from the blue. If you have the LED strip on full white (all LEDs lit) that would be 60mA per segment.''

I had to look for a 12V power supply that would be capable of powering up the whole system. I also has to solder cables from each RGB channel, and a 4th one for the power. Until it looked a like this:

Once the LED stripe was ready, I had to fix the arduino board and the breadboard in order to be able to control each LED channel individually. For this, I needed MOSFETS:

''Because these LED strips are very simple, we can easily use them with any microcontroller. Since each 'LED' pin may end up requiring an Amp or more to sink to ground, power transistors are required! Don't try to connect the pins directly to your everyday microcontroller, they will burn out and/or not work.

You can use any power NPN or N-Channel MOSFET, make sure the transistor is rated to be able to pass as much current as you need. For example, since we draw about 0.2Amps per channel per meter, if you have a 5 meter strip you will need to pass up to 1 Ampere per transistor. Get the beefy "TO-220" packages, not the dinky little guys. Make sure they look like this:''

And the connection in the breadboard goes like this:

<gallery>
https://i.postimg.cc/qvbmzd7D/led-strips-ledstripfet.gif
</gallery>

As you can see. Each cable we soldered to the LED stripe, was placed in the middle leg of each MOSFET. Each right led was connected to another cable that went to the channel 5, which is the main controller in the arduino code. And each left leg, was connected by bridge to the ground in the arduino board. The extra cable for the LED stripe power supply was not connected as shown in the picture, it was connected directly to the 12V power supply.

==IDEA==

My idea is to control a small set of LED lights alongside with the music I program using MSP in order to create a visual sequence. I plan on building a small structure which is illuminated with a LED light strip smoothly alongside with the rhythm of the music, like you can see in the following videos:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrF_CfAFEY Color LED light bulb ] In this reference, the developer used a microphone in order to alternate the change of colors according to the information received by the microphone.

This is a much more simpler example of installation with only three LED lights, in the original video, the lights dance to the music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3hzYAJzOo Bottle LED light]

[https://cycling74.com/projects/8-field-installation-for-light-sound-and-code LED light cube]

==INITIAL DEVELOPMENT==

I have been following two main tutorials, in order to create a hybrid code with the instructions of the reference projects and my final idea. The main projects I follow are:

-[https://maker.pro/arduino/projects/christmas-light-show-with-arduino Christmas Light show with Arduino] This is the main tutorial for the first video of this imput. Here is a step by step of the developer's project. The code is also available.

-[https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Music-Rhythm-LED-Lighting-Box/ Arduino rhythm LED light box] This is the second part of my tutorials.

With these examples, and tutorials, I am starting to merge the sections of the codes that might help me start controlling the light. Once I have this, I will decide in which design direction must I choose.

== '''The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri.''' ==

Ever since mankind invented gods, there has been good and evil, Heaven and Hell. A glorious place, and a terrifying one; to enjoy either for the good behavior or be punished for the evil. With different religions there are different implications. But one thing these religions have in common is the fact of the “life after life”. We can find books like the Christian Bible and the Muslin Quran, where they talk about place of joy to live the eternity.

Circa 1308–21, Italian author Dante Alighieri wrote about his experiences walking through the path of Hell, the Purgatory and Heaven. In each experience, he is guided by Greek poet Virgilio, and he is explained what happens in afterlife. My idea is based on representing all stages of his path and creating an image of what Dante might have seen in this walk.
In Christian theology, Hell is the place where by God's judgment sinners go to pay for their unrepentant actions after dead. There, they spend the eternity in suffering. Same idea of concept is shared by Islam in Jahannam, refers to an afterlife place of punishment for evildoers. Hell, Sheol (in the Hebrew bible), “Gehenna” (in the new testament).

This is the first approach to the whole project. Dante’s Divine Comedy is composed of three books: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. But even before Dante starts talking about these three stages, we see his walk in the woods and Limbo. I focused on these two stages as they are foreground before the full experience. In this stage, the reader (in the original narration form) starts to get the new set of rules of the upcoming adventure. As I talked to my teacher, this first experiment was just a first approach of an even bigger project which will be filled with different sounds and images to play with the viewer’s emotions.

https://i.postimg.cc/8c8Rpsxp/divine-comedy-THIS-ONE.png

The stages are:
-Entrance, which I recreated for this project
-Hell, which consist of 9 circles descending each time to a deeper punishment. I also recreated the first circle of Hell, Limbo.
-Ante Purgatory and purgatory.
-Heaven, which has stages and then Paradise.

'''Inferno Canto I:1-60 The Dark Wood and the Hill'''

https://i.postimg.cc/RVdH8PCV/entrance-of-hell-2.jpg

“In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the direct way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there”.
The first scene I created, I wanted to show my interpretation of Dante’s walk in the woods. Before he was even accompanied by Virgilio. The dark wood, the entrance, the way to the new adventure. I tried to recreate the loneliness in the darkness, the thick wood, and the only way into the upcoming path.

'''Inferno Canto IV:1-63 The First Circle: Limbo:'''

“Here suffer those who did not sin, yet did not have the required portal of our faith. Their punishment is the denial of Paradise.” — Virgil

https://i.postimg.cc/HnJhKJXT/limbo.png

There have been many interpretations of Limbo. The souls in this place are said to be in a numb state where they are lost in their own place. Left in the darkness to wonder around in their misery. Their punishment is not to be able to go to Heaven, not to enjoy the peace and joy of eternal glory. Souls here have regret, they walk around regretting the fact that they had no God, no real God.

My interpretation was based in the “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” on Netflix. But I changed it a bit. As souls here are in eternal destress and wonder. That is why when I created the characters, I didn’t give them any distinction to one another. Not even material for skin. They all look the same, as in the Christian theology, these souls are ignored by their God.

'''Future of the project'''

My idea is to connect the scenes of the three main stages of the project (hell, purgatory and heaven) with a gaze controller. I had tried to create the connection between the two scenes I already created, but on Wednesday 20th March my computer had a window update and suddenly the scenes folder was deleted from my files. I must admit I was way too confident on the computer and I didn’t have a backup file. So, I had to recreate the scenes from scratch in these two previous weeks. For this deadline, I planned to have sounds surrounding the scenes and, as said, the two scenes connected with the Gaze controller. I didn’t have enough time to recreate this connection, as I was working full time, and I had limited time to work on this. I hope to keep working on this project and actually get the results I have in my mind.

Gquinteros0717: /* The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri. */

== '''The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri.''' ==

Ever since mankind invented gods, there has been good and evil, Heaven and Hell. A glorious place, and a terrifying one; to enjoy either for the good behavior or be punished for the evil. With different religions there are different implications. But one thing these religions have in common is the fact of the “life after life”. We can find books like the Christian Bible and the Muslin Quran, where they talk about place of joy to live the eternity.

Circa 1308–21, Italian author Dante Alighieri wrote about his experiences walking through the path of Hell, the Purgatory and Heaven. In each experience, he is guided by Greek poet Virgilio, and he is explained what happens in afterlife. My idea is based on representing all stages of his path and creating an image of what Dante might have seen in this walk.
In Christian theology, Hell is the place where by God's judgment sinners go to pay for their unrepentant actions after dead. There, they spend the eternity in suffering. Same idea of concept is shared by Islam in Jahannam, refers to an afterlife place of punishment for evildoers. Hell, Sheol (in the Hebrew bible), “Gehenna” (in the new testament).

This is the first approach to the whole project. Dante’s Divine Comedy is composed of three books: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. But even before Dante starts talking about these three stages, we see his walk in the woods and Limbo. I focused on these two stages as they are foreground before the full experience. In this stage, the reader (in the original narration form) starts to get the new set of rules of the upcoming adventure. As I talked to my teacher, this first experiment was just a first approach of an even bigger project which will be filled with different sounds and images to play with the viewer’s emotions.

https://i.postimg.cc/8c8Rpsxp/divine-comedy-THIS-ONE.png

The stages are:
-Entrance, which I recreated for this project
-Hell, which consist of 9 circles descending each time to a deeper punishment. I also recreated the first circle of Hell, Limbo.
-Ante Purgatory and purgatory.
-Heaven, which has stages and then Paradise.

“In the middle of the journey of our life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the direct way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there”.
The first scene I created, I wanted to show my interpretation of Dante’s walk in the woods. Before he was even accompanied by Virgilio. The dark wood, the entrance, the way to the new adventure. I tried to recreate the loneliness in the darkness, the thick wood, and the only way into the upcoming path.

In this festive time of the year, Christmas lights are also a main character. We have Christmas lights surrounding us everywhere from the beginning of December, and it is always interesting to see the new ideas of people everywhere. Lately, it has become very popular to have light shows alongside with popular songs, and synchronize the rhythm to the movement of the lights.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMRaSeVFEiQ Christmas light show]

'''IDEA'''

My idea is to control a small set of Christmas Lights alongside with the music I program using MSP in order to create a visual sequence. In the previous video, you can see a huge display where the whole house is decorated with Christmas lights, but my project won't go that big. I plan on building a small structure which is illuminated with a LED light strip smoothly alongside with the rhythm of the music, like you can see in the following videos:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QrF_CfAFEY Color LED light bulb ] In this reference, the developer used a microphone in order to alternate the change of colors according to the information received by the microphone.

This is a much more simpler example of installation with only three LED lights, in the original video, the lights dance to the music. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3hzYAJzOo Bottle LED light]

'''ESTRUCTURE'''

I am still undecided between two external designs.

-My first idea, is to light a cylindrical container. My main inspiration is the device ALEXA from amazon, but in my case, it would be a transparent cylinder where you can see the light changed.

https://i.postimg.cc/rpcwwDs2/Alexa-Family-Shot-trans-Nv-BQz-QNjv4-Bq-Wa-Cvw-Bu-Rm4zisdt-G6jk8nm6-BELm.jpg

-The second idea, is to create a rectangular exoskeleton with Christmas lights, or LED light stripes hanging from it as a waterfall. In the video, we can see a huge cube with the LED lights on the sides of the cube, I want my lights to be hanging from top to bottom. [https://cycling74.com/projects/8-field-installation-for-light-sound-and-code LED light cube]

'''INITIAL DEVELOPMENT'''

I have been following two main tutorials, in order to create a hybrid code with the instructions of the reference projects and my final idea. The main projects I follow are:

-[https://maker.pro/arduino/projects/christmas-light-show-with-arduino Christmas Light show with Arduino] This is the main tutorial for the first video of this imput. Here is a step by step of the developer's project. The code is also available.

-[https://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Music-Rhythm-LED-Lighting-Box/ Arduino rhythm LED light box] This is the second part of my tutorials.

With these examples, and tutorials, I am starting to merge the sections of the codes that might help me start controlling the light. Once I have this, I will decide in which design direction must I choose.

'''FIRST ATTEMPT'''
In the first attempt, I tried using the 16 channel Relay Module and using the Christmas light tutorial. I was able to upload a code to it, but it wasn't being transmitted to the LED light installation.

https://i.postimg.cc/4YxZs9MZ/1.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/zLLrR18c/2.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/8FqVRnCP/3.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/zy2NBfZh/4.jpg

It was a little frustrating, as it was the winter break and couldn't really move forward with this technique. I kept looking online for an easier way for me to be able to communicate Max and Arduino with the LED lights.

A little while later, I found a very helpful tutorial, which allowed me to communicate arduino with my set of LEDs. [https://learn.adafruit.com/rgb-led-strips/arduino-code]. I followed this tutorial and to my surprise, it really worked.

This is the arduino connection I used as instructed by the tutotial:
https://i.postimg.cc/KYDdxfny/led-strips-ledstripfet.gif

And this is my connection:
https://i.postimg.cc/XY0HqFNN/6.jpg

And here you can find the video of when it first worked.

{{#ev:youtube|HBzK3ENtR24|955x400}}

'''CONNECTING THE CODE TO MAX'''

In this point, I talked to my teacher Miga, and he gave me a little clue to try to use the old patch I had used in a previous exercise and try to connect it to the new code I had in the arduino software. I tried several ways, until I realized that the easiest way was exactly modifying the code I had already programed a while before.

So, here you have it: Max code, arduino code, and a video of the LED lights synchronized to any audio source the Computer's microphone detects.

First idea:
Working with the slow motion camera, we watched many videos online, and decided we wanted to experiment with our Flash strobes and see how the light would act in slow motion. We wanted to capture the whole process of flash light coming out of the strobes, and how it is reflected on the objects being photographed.

The come out:
We set all our personal equipment in the performance platform in order to capture our idea.
https://vimeo.com/321478761

We had several problems, as the light was so fast, the high speed camera wasn't able to capture the whole movement. Every time we shot a video, it took us a long time to find the result. The speed of the Flash light was way faster than the high speed camera. What we learned in the process, is that the speed of the flashes strobes is < 1/1,000,000 second, thats less than one Millionth of a second [http://www.woodselec.com/strobe.htm]). The light comes out of the strobe in a higher potency in the first milliseconds and then graduates it's way until it is over. Like shown in the following image:

https://i.postimg.cc/VknR5Trc/flash2-shutterdiagram.png

This way, we would need a much faster camera to capture the whole process with more than just a couple of frames. After spending a whole morning doing this, with many different tries and objects, we gave up when we reached this conclusion. We needed something that could be capture in a 900fps rate.

Final idea:
Being Christmas time and having level 1 fireworks (not dangerous one that are also legal to purchase all year around) sold freely in the supermarkets, we decided to give it a go with the slow motion camera. For this, we came back to the lab at night, to capture most of the light we could. As we were going to work with fireworks, and these require a certain security protocol, we decided to take the camera outside, and call some of our friends to watch over the whole lab, camera, and computer.

The result:

We got some amazing shots with different movements of the different fireworks we had. Some were very unpredictable, but we managed to have the explosions far away from the lab and the camera, so it didn't represent any kind of problem or us. All fireworks behaved beautifly and we were able to capture their movement in a synchriniced motion.

As the fireworks seemed to be dancing, so, we decided to edit a video were the images went along with the music. So, here is the final experiment:

Introduction:
For the final project in the Performance platform, Eduardo Moreno And I worked together. We came out with different ideas, but the main tool we proposed to use was the slow motion camera. This was the tool that we got along with in a better approach, and it wasn't giving as much headaches as the marker-less motion capture system (this instrument was very interesting, but we had some problems configuring the whole system in class, which made me lose interest very fast).
