-Image1: Any picture that fits under the title “ the moment I knew what I wanted to do” there is not one particular moment for me that made me know what i wanted to do; i still don't know exactly what i want to do. things that pushed me into a direction are exhibitions like dismaland, street art (in for exambple berlin), and several museum visits in different countries

-Image 2: What do you make? (Tell us in one image and three sentences about creative background)

as a graphic designer i generally prefer to make physical items like printed objects like books and posters. i prefer to see my practice more widely and also like to expand it to other practices, like photography, fine arts and audiovisual.

-Image 3: What is your topic of interest? Explain a past/current topic or what you wish to explore)

at the moment i am particularly interested in street art/contemporary art. i think the message they usually try to bring across is important and often presented in a clever way to have more impact

-Image 4: What is your medium? (Explain what materials and tools you wish to use)

i don't have one specific tool or material i use; i like to work with things i am not (yet) familiar with. for this practice i hope to use more electronic and mechanical materials/tools to familiarise myself with circuits in order to be able to for example create moving objects that make sounds.

I want to create a device that keeps children from going out of bed at night.
The device will work as following; when a child steps out of bed, a motionsensor/touch sensor will send a trigger to the device.
Through the speaker the monster will warn the child in various ways that it should stay in bed; or else..
The eyes will light up and it will slightly move forward to scare the child back in bed.
It can also make sleeping sounds and register sound and parents could tell their child 'not to wake up the monster'

For the execution i will need;
- Toy car+remote
- Circuit or arduino
- Speaker
- Motion sensor/touch sensor(makeymakey?)
- Hairy fabric/a monster to put on the toy car
- LEDS as eyes

process > turn the device more into something playful

test with a light sensor, next step test with pir motion sensor

soldering plan with 4 pir sensors; the car/monster has a motion sensor on each side and will try to follow/turn towards the direction of the triggered sensor

re-soldering the connections on the remote with longer wires. unfortunately i didn't buy the female jumper cables for the pir-connections.
tried endlessly to solder them instead but it's just impossible. hope to be able to get them before the weekend!
using the posca markers for colourcoding the wires

trying to figure out how to code; it's starting to make more sense now!

connecting the pir sensors and burning the circuit


IMG 6567.JPG
I was able to get the cables today, but unfortunately i burned the circuit of the controller by attaching a 9v instead of 2x 1,5v

just got a new car, i hope i'm able to connect and get everything working in time

presentation


IMG 6627.JPG IMG 6628.JPG
i didn't know the arduino could operate without the cable, so while doing the presentation i taped it onto the car with a 9 volt block so it could ride without the computer attached.

what i would do if i had more time

obviously the project is only finished on the technical side. i would want to make a cover for the car, in the shape of a monster so the monster would follow you/you can play with it. the technical part should be built a bit better, with longer wires so it wouldnt be so hard to connect everything and keep it in the shape it needs for the pir sensors to stay in place.

idea of the material i could use for the monster. the pir sensors would function as eyes
