Unnamed: Illuminated Trees

Working in partnership with Tine Bech Studios to provide an illuminated interactive art piece in Denmark and Miami

As members of the public swing, the nearby trees illuminate from the roots up – until the entire tree is lit. Upon a fully lit tree, a sequence of lights is displayed, slowly descending back into the ground ready to start again

  • Battery powered IMU sensor modules attached to the swings allow detection of movement
  • XBee based wireless communications
  • Teensy powered LED controller, running main state machines and effects
  • Fully custom LED effects and patterns
  • Internal sound effect engine generate noises as the users swing
