It is much easier to build interactive ...Thank you!<br />It is much easier to build interactive artwork than it was in the 70s! I've been building electronics since the late 90s and it's gotten easier and smaller in that time. <br /><br />Absolutely, you could do this on fabric. There are some off-the-shelf microprocessors designed specifically for wearables like FLORA or the Adafruit Gemma. You can get electrically conductive thread and even fabric. Check out my Resources page for some useful links: http://minouette.blogspot.com/p/resources.html<br /><br />Humming or glowing are easier to acheive than flapping (especially on a larger, heavier scale where you need something strong enough to move it). minouettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12698448500324207741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712311211123644484.post-91901517837678524142019-03-19T14:44:42.412-04:002019-03-19T14:44:42.412-04:00I cannot believe nobody has ever commented on this...I cannot believe nobody has ever commented on this. It is amazing. I was in college with a professor that got within a few credits of an electrical engineering degree and suddenly switched to art. He made pieces that lit up, buzzed, and reacted to people walking into the gallery. People would stand in front of them for hours to see if they could figure out when it repeated. (24 hours so they missed that!) They were big wooden things with all kinds of circuits and little lights and wires all over--(it was the 1970s so things were more concrete, big, and clunky then) but this is just magical. I want the book--the electrical part is a bit beyond me. Could you do this on fabric? I want to wear a native bee that hums or flaps its wings when other people come close or glows and lights up or something!LAHRdesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572518107885884480noreply@blogger.com
