#DensitySkins

Idea

The machine aims to create a physical representation of the digitally accumulated density data for various major landmarks in the city of Barcelona. The objective is to examine the relation between the spaces and when they are the least or most activated.

Upon analysing the collected data, the setup visualizes the values with the movement of fabric in space, interacting with the colour spectrum.

The system is initiated by a simple tweet.

Construction

The setup includes a piece of fabric placed horizontally along with 4 servo motors at the top, pulling the fabric up (XZ or XY plane) as per the input values from the data. The LEDs placed at the top add colour to the fabric depending upon the input values.
