Example o processing showing concept behind an

interactive design projectHere you can see that

this visual representa-

tion is or 1 person

(represented by the

grey circle as the

mouse cursor). When

you move the mouse/

grey circle across the

screen one part to an-

other a ripple eect is

created. This emulatesthe lights reaction to

one person moving

across the interative

panels.

This demonstration

shows the reaction

that is created when

two people are inront

o the panel. Much

like the reaction whenthere is one person a

ripple is created, but

here the second per-

sons ripple is created

horizontal creating a

cross-hatched reac-

tion.

This demonstration

shows the reaction

when three people

walk inront o the

panel. Based on where

the people move trails

o light ollow the

peoples movement

and create a diagonal

pattern.

Processing used in

architecture

Jason Bruge created a temporary interactive design at the Design Indaba in South Arica.

IThe piece was designed, built and installed in the main conerence area as an interactive

wall surace. The concept was a surace o light that responded as a person walked, initiat-

ing a moment o surprise. This allowed visitors to reconsider their movements and provide

a moment o pause and play in their journey that would normally be uninterrupted and

routine.

Processing code:

Example o use with Arduino

The scope o processing and the amount o dierent things it has to

oer is pretty large. On the last page Daniel made a visual represen-

tation that showed his concept and was interactive. Processing alsoallows the user to (as shown to the let) control

The screenshot to the let show how to make an Arduino board turn

on and o an LED or one second. As you can see to the let the green

text allows the user to write an explanation without it becoming code.

This makes the code so much more approachable or a designer, i you

shared it to another person they could ollow what happens by the

description adjacent to the code.

This is one o a ew reasons why processing is used so much.

Above you can see in process-

ing the Arduino is listed

In the picture below you can

see the user connecting the

laptop to the arduino board to

upload the code to the proces-

sor on board.

CONCEPT OF WINDWALL

DS04 Students 2D graphics

Processing - Grid

DS04 Students 2D graphics

A program will be written by

Daniel rom Jason Bruges that

divides the graphic in grids and

displays on the LED lights

Audrino board - process the program

into real time

Circuit boards powers and con-

veys data to the ans

Fans are placed equally on a grid that

is mounted on a rame made.

While the wind is generated the ans will

light up based upon the people inront,where the wind is generated and the peo-

ple inront (see picture the top picture)

1 - Here you can see the tool tray that kept a lot o the pieces

that were to be soldered on to the chip boards.

2 - Screwdrivers and wooden boards were made or connect-

ing the two parts o the ans.

3 - Wire cutters were used to cut the connectors that are to be

connected to the an.

4 - Soldering k it and solder ready to solder the chip boards.

Also you can see the clamps used to hold the boards up

steadily as soldering requires both hands.

5 - Large clamps were used time to time

6 - Large ans not really used in construction, but to test theans on the grid once they were installed.

7 -Glue guns

8 - Fans need to be used when soldering as the umes are

toxic. Some o the soldering irons came with them attached.

Below is a Macbookpro which has processing on it.

COMPONENTS USED

1: Here you can see the boards used beore most o the components

were soldered on.

2: Picture o the boards with all the components soldered and work-

ing.

3: Here you can a pile o the an base pieces. This bit connects to an-

other part o the an Ive labelled here 4. This part is basically the bit that

connects the ans to the grid

4: This is the part with the motor and the LED are situated. Once a an is

placed on the motor-turning piece it will work once the wind is caught.

6: Here you can see the connectors that were to be placed on the ribbon

wires eatured in picture 7.

7: The ribbon wire had to be stripped at dierent intervals to reach all

the ans. The ribbons would support all the ans in a vertical row.

At the bottom would be the circuit boards eatured in picture 1.

These would then connect to the audrino boards.

SETTING UP THE CIRCUIT

BOARDS

Beore we started soldering the circuit boards that Daniel ordered we

had to practice on this board which had hundreds o holes that emu-

lated the soldering experience.

Here is a picture o me soldering the diodes to the practice board.

Once we were conortable and daniel had checked up on our solder-

ing we started soldering the chipboards that would deal with power-

ing up the ans.

This is a picture o the actual base chipboard that was used to con-

nect the ans to receive signals rom the audrino board and also to

power the ans.

Here is a picture o me soldering the diodes to the practice board.

Once we were conortable and daniel had checked up on our solder-

ing we started soldering the chipboards that would deal with power-

ing up the ans.

When soldering we had to make sure that ater each circuit board was

done that we checked each solder closely so that it doesnt circuit.

What this basically means is that in the check you had to look closely

to see i the solder touched other parts o the circuit, causing it not towork.

Here you can see that this part o the circuit board involved somebody

cutting up the diode pieces


12/21

TESTING THE CIRCUIT

BOARDS

Chipboard createdTo check the boards ater they had been soldered with the components

in place it was important to test that they work, otherwise non op-

erational boards would be put onto the grid and a vertical line o ans

would not light up.

To do this Daniel wrote a simple test in processing. This test ment thati the circuit worked it would light up a special test panel which had a

series o LEDs. When the soldered board is placed within the test circuit

i all the solders are done correctly then the LEDs will light up, as you can

see in the bottom right picture.

Every circuit board needs to be checked beore being placed to avoid

any complications later.

Let to right:

I the circuit board

doesnt work however it

wont light up it shows

the circuit boards sol-

dering needs to be

checked and adjusted,

as shown in the let

picture.

I the circuit boards

work then the LEDs

light up, as shown in the

picture opposite.

BUILDING THE WINDWALL

Here a student is connecting the base o the ans to the motors

Here is a picture o several students soldering the wire connectors to the

body o the an.

Connectors or the an and circuit boards are cut to size and pressed togeth-

er in a clamp.


14/21

Here you can see the audrino con-

nected to the circuit-boards, connect-

ed to the ans via the wiring.

This is a very important picture as you

can see everything here working and

how they are connected.

CONCEPT OF WIND/LIGHT

FANS AND AEOLIAN TOWERHere you can see several

pictures o the Wind Mall

ready or the One Dot Zeroevent.

Ater testing to see i it

was working it was given

the clearance ready to be

displayed.

Here you can see some o

the results I have captured

with my camera. In thepicture directly to the let

you can see the large an is

generating wind in the bot-

tom right part o the grid.

As a result only you can see

loose circle showing the

more intense part and the

lights dimmer where the

wind is less.

In the bottom pictures

you can see the grid being

displayed or a selective

audience showing dier-

ent patterns based on what

graphic was shown.

I have also shown pictures

o P3 or that evening, it

seems red was the colour o

choice.

AEOLIAN TOWER /SSL WORKSHOP

Here are pictures o the tower that was to hold 1200+ wind-to-light ans outside o the BFI Southbank.

In the picture directly above you can see the base on which the tower was to be placed. The even distribution is

to ensure the tower doesnt all over in the wind or or whatever reason. In all the pictures above you can see a

spacerame type o construction is created to disperse the load o the tower. In the picturs above you can see

that the ramework is hend together at several positions.

In the top let you can see the holes on which the crane will attach to the tower to

pull it o the ground and descend it onto the base shown here.

The picture to the ar right shows the length o the tower to be erected. It is very

tall and will be higher than the bridge adjacent to the the BFI allowing multiple

views o the ans.


18/21

Above you can see

the template ex-

ample. Unortunately

the mesh that was

delivered was the

wrong size as you

can see to the right,

thereore additional

to the work o con-

necting the ans to

the mesh we also had

to bend open holes

or them using pliars.

This small error made

the task so long and

caused the schedule

to change rom one

day work to two days

o work. Here you can see two o westminster students along with Jason Bruges people trying to work out and assemble the ans

to the mesh.

Once we arrived at the SSL workshop there was in excess o 800

ans ready to be made. Here is a box o the bottom part o the

ans that needed to be adjusted.

The wind guide on the back o the component was not need-

ed and needed to be cut o as they were to be placed against

mesh. To do this we used pre-cut holding slots and a scalpel.

Once all the wind guides were cut o we needed to connect that component

the propellor component with the base component. To do this we had to

screw open the top part, connect it with the bottom and screw it back in.

AEOLIAN TOWERINSTALLATION AT THE BFI

From top let to bottom right:

The aeolian tower was sectioned o on site rom the

public and connected to the crane to lit.

Beore it was li ted the constructors connected the

crane to the tower, made sure it was sae and then

they started moving the tower across.

There was wheels attached to the bottom o the tower

so that the could move across the foor as the other

end was being lit up by the crane.

The constructors used a loosely built step/wall system

o wooden planks to stop the wheels, then cause the

tower to rise as the crane pulled it up. Once the crane

was now o the ground the workers started taking the

wheels o.

Once the wheels were o the workers kept an eye on

the bottom o the tower, guiding it physically i need-

ed with a connected piece o rope. I presume this was

also to stop it swaying.

From here the tower was moved into position with su-

pervisors keeping an eye on it rom the bridge above.


20/21

Here you can see the same constructors about to connect

the base o the tower to the top.

Now that the tower is in place the workers make sure it slots

in properly

Here you can see the worker starting to tighting

Using the rope as a guide and slow movement rom the

crane driver the tower slowly descended into position.

Both constructors guide the bottom o the tower in place

and give eedback to the crane operator

Both workers screw the bolts in position to make sure that

the tower is secured. In the picture below to the let you can

see him hammering in a bolt to secure the two pieces.

To the right are two pictures o the crane and the tower.

In the rst one you can see a man has been ascended on a

platorm to disconnect the crane now it is in position. In the

second you can see tower is completely detached and the

crane is moving away.
