I have also been developing Shutterbug, which comprises a small motorised camera mounted on a raspberry pi. It wakes up every 10 minutes and takes 50 random pictures of its surroundings and stitches them together into a digital collage of what it ‘sees’. The results are fed back into the gallery space to provide a realtime digital eye on proceedings. I have shown this work twice now, once at the ALL TEN:th anniversary exhibition and once at the Cambridge PiJam, and I have been surprised at how much interested it has generated.
This is my final post for this blog as my a-n grant comes to a close. Thanks to a-n for the opportunity to learn so much! I would love to hear from others who are also working with Python code and interactive technology as part of their practice.
