“Working in a Dream”

7Electrons eBookmark Project Almost Here!

Shown here is our eBookmark at a more advanced stage. The basic idea of operation is that a user will mark their place in a book with a touch strip and it will be stored and displayed via the embedded LEDs. A toggle switch at the top of the device selects the left or right page of the book. The indicator sleeps after 5 seconds and wakes up to display the last saved bookmark upon the next touch of the strip or toggle switch.

All of the electronics including microcontroller, white surface mount LEDs, resistive touch strip sensor, tact switch and lots of teeny tiny wires are embedded in a carved 7” x 1” x 1/8” basswood body. The front panel is a temporary proof of concept. The microcontroller code was written in pure C and compiled with avr-gcc. Getting all of these small parts wired into such a small and delicate wooden frame was no easy task. The most trying moment was when I realized I had initially installed all 16 LEDs backwards :| However, it’s already looking pretty rad at this point and I can’t wait to finish and show the final piece!

7E Studio Guest - Kimchee and Chips

Kimchee and Chips, is a collaborative art studio based in Seoul founded by Elliot Woods (UK) and Mimi Son (S. Korea). Their works combines technical media and/or primitive materials to create interactive exhibits.  They use disciplines of visual technology such as projectors, cameras, graphical computation as well as utilizing code with traditional art materials.  

“Light Barrier” (2014) is a light installation consisting of convex mirrors and light to create projection of floating graphical/animating objects.

“Line Segments Space” (2013) is a spectacular light and sound installation using projection, nylon string and code. It very much resonates with works from our past 7E featured artist Jeongmoon Choi.

“Lunar Surface” (2014) is a projection image created by a vertical flag of fabric moving in wind, displaced by curves of air pressure, swinging back and forth. “As it sweeps, it extrudes a trail of light which draws a moon floating in space. The flag renders this moon from another reality, the silk surface acts as a boundary between 2 realities, intermediating the laws of the 2 realms.”

Photos do not do justice.  Be sure to watch the videos.  I’m loving the wordplay on their name. Sounds pretty tasty actually.
