So you wanna build a kinetic sculpture?! Let's walk through what it's like to make a creative art installation.
Last month, we gave you a sneak preview of an upcoming exhibit at the Hong Kong History Museum. The creator, Alexson Chu, was using SparkFun parts and projection mapping to create an interactive learning experience for museum goers. Well, the installation premiered yesterday, and we have an inside look.
Learn about Jaime Carrejo's installation "Waiting," and how we went about building a kinetic installation art piece.
Museums are always looking for ways to engage their visitors. See how one artist is using SparkFun parts and projection mapping to make that happen.
Small batch PCB orders are now within everyone’s reach. But if you’re moving past the prototype stage, you want your boards to do more than work well. You also want them to look good. As always, SparkFun is here to help.
Learn what circuit sculptures are and the few that we've made since quarantine started.
