Week 4 I worked on team 1, which had morphed into a lighting installation. We took the idea and translated it into an idea for an interactive fence. I spent most of my time working on getting the model working. We used 5 PIR sensors that we controlling a series of LEDs plugged into fiber optic strands.
The fiber optics are an interesting approach to weather proofing and theft. Our idea is that fiber optics can be embedded in a slab of concrete where the light source is buried, leaving the majority of the hardware underground.
The powerHouse: an interesting building that has been disconnected from city power. It is still unclear as to what their long term goal is for their work and how it coincides with our installation. We do know they have a new metal roof and put a new south facing window in their attic.
