“..Holding me..” (Research) / 2021

Medium : wood, LED strip (Detachable), resin, glass, water, pump, Arduino mega & uno

Size : 27 x 15 x 35 (inch)

Abstract : In this piece, I used a different way of thought instead of the way I used to think of. This means that instead of describing nature as an accidental natural phenomenon, I described this event as an inevitable incident by making nature follow my steps. This is because I started to believe that my circumstances always tried to be changed depending on my emotions and changes to give me comfort and warmth.

Technical detail: By making a pixelated camera effect in p5.js, the present will be divided from the black and white in colors on the screen. This means it shows my movement through these two different colors. And the conversation between P5.JS and Arduino through serial control will activate each pump in real-time. And white pixels will turn on the water pump and turn off on black pixels.

In addition, adding a delay between each movement makes it look like I'm following behind me instead of perfectly mirroring my steps. And it means it always comes for me, and it always will.
