Kindled Flames is a digital art installation that plays with light and its nature through an immersive and interactive animation. By handcrafting a fixture and using Arduino and LED technology we created a captivating visual experience.
By taking inspiration from Tom Sachs we decided we wanted to create the center piece for the project using only found and recycled materials and see where they could take the project and the look of the piece. Once we had a good idea of what our piece will look like we sketched it out as well as possible uses for it to help drive our design ideas.
Babys All Right: Club/Venue Space in Brooklyn NYC

We took inspiration from Babys All Right, a club in Brooklyn, NYC, and their unique light fixtures. We replicated this using reused glass bottles and placed the LEDS within them. We then continued finding items such as grass and leaves to help construct the piece and create a covering for the inside of the piece and the technplogy. Once the fixture was done we soldered multiple LED strips to have them all connected to one power source. Once that was completed I began animating the LEDs to have an immersive but calming animation.
