Motor movements
A key focus of this research is to examine different methods by which the movement of constructions can be controlled with software so that there is an organic, random and graceful transition as the piece adopts one position after another.
In order to fully engage with the potential here, it will be necessary to conduct a series of trials with the aim of providing extensive cover of some the possibilities.
This will mean using the Arduino prototyping platform together with a number of motor shields
Thursday February 4th – I am having my first planning meeting with two possible contributors to my research. They are both postgraduate students at Ravensbourne, Jason and Leticia. As an artist, this is the first time I have had the opportunity to manage the workflow of others in relation to my own artistic goals. In the past, I have had to complete all the required tasks myself. A very welcome change!
www.metamekanix.com and www.metamekanix.co.uk purchased! I am glad they were available. No need for any hyphens or odd spellings!
In a couple of days they will be live!
I heard yesterday that my funding proposal for Metamekanix has been awarded by Ravensbourne’s Research Grant. I will be able to work with two other researchers on my proposal. The project will last about 6-9 months
My research question is: What are the most effective ways of employing computer programming to control the motorised movement of objects and structures?
