hi everyone,

we have an artist here who wants to do a simple kinetic sculpture 
in which we activate a motor based on some sensor input. this is
for a large exhibition we are planning at jaaga the last two weeks
of may. 

if anyone has a bit of time and would be willing to help. that
would be fantastic.  i'll ask her to come by on Saturday so she
can explain in more detail.

Hello All,
Here are the action items from yesterdays meeting. 

Both Andy and I won't be here on Saturday for the workshop/meeting. Hopefully you can check in about these things and discuss what you will be doing for the next week. Maybe Archana or Freeman can lead the meeting? 

Have a good weekend!
Mandy


Action Items:


·         Corin

o   Organizing the composers- has two, one local, one in Cali

o   Will work with Tobias to figure out a program that can move the sound around more effectively to different speakers

o   The sounds bank will be available in the next couple days to begin work with, after that will begin making synth sounds out of normal sounds

o   Will be creating a demo track for the Kinect

o   Beginning to compose music this coming week

·      Angese:

o   The plastics will be here in less then 15 days

o   The drawing for the final model is coming together slowly

o   Sourcing the connections for the plastics this week

o   Will be working with Andy on getting the sensors for the flowers, she will deal with her own motors and sensors

o   Will start testing proximity sensors next week

·      Pooja

o   Looking at the space and figuring out the specifics- Kiran will help her with tools and adjustments

o   Will be experimenting with movement for outside panels

·      Kiran:

o   All wiring in place for the speakers

o   Will work with Agnese on prototype for flower

·      Sharath

o   Came up with basic algorithm for movement tracking, can extract the colors value of the motion

o   Is working on mapping RGB values

o   Should have a demo by the end of the week: at least the sounds composition part but not necessarily the color part

·      Tobias

o   Twitter messages to control lights on the façade.

o   Abelson integration

o   Working on further developing the concept

·      Freeman

o   Got the Kinect to trigger some sounds

o   The lights guys came and did a demo about the lights- and hopefully 50 finished lights in 7-10 days- will do some chasing to make sure they are on track
