illuminating object
medium: halogen lights, ebony blade
dimensions: approx 12" H
date: february 2004
An exercise in the incorporation of smart products (mechatronics)
into an academic form assignment, this illuminating work becomes
brighter and more intense as a viewer moves closer to it.  Using
ultra-sonic sensors and varying pulse-width modulation voltage to
the lights via a programmed microprocessor brought an interaction
that was the magic of this piece.
