Introduction
OS 1.1 harnesses the built infrastructure to extend our sensory registers. We have collaboratively designed an operating system: a lighting network linked by air. As mechanical wooden inputs are touched and turned, lighting outputs change and fluctuate. Manipulation of the physical apparatus directs sensory phenomena along new pathways.
Final Installation







Output device
I primarily worked on the output device for this installation. We used a combination of slip rings, 3D printed parts, Mcmaster components, and laser cut acrylic pieces for the structural components. We utilized two one gear ratioed stepper motor for rotating the devices.
