CAPACITIVE SENSOR / SERVO MOTOR
The capacitive sensor works due to the copper plates on top of all the blades.
This mesures the static energy of your hand when you wave over it.
The data then is being transfered to the arduino.
The arduino sketch sees the data and remaps that to fit the 1 to 180 degrees of the servo motor.
The connected servo motor then moves according to the amount of static energy of your hand.

By hovering your hand above the copper material different data is being
measured which triggers the servo motor at the bottom.

VIDEO: SERVO MOTOR CONTROLLED BY VARIABLE AND UNPREDICTED INPUT
The servo motor that is situated at the bottom of the object is connected to a varaible imput.
In this case, this is the wind in Rotterdam. When the wind flows from an
other angle, the movement will be immediately reflected in the object.
What essentially is being created is an uncontrolled movement due to the unpredicted wind.

VIDEO: SERVO MOTOR CONTROLLED BY VARIABLE AND UNPREDICTED INPUT
The same behavior like the object above, applies for the object underneath here.
Although now the object and behavior is being implemented together with some light.
It should create a light that flickers or changes unpredictably.
Plus the top of the object.

VIDEO: MY LIFE AFTER 44 YEARS IN PRISON
Otis Johnson went to jail at the age of 25. When he got out at 69, he rejoined a world that was starkly different from the one he remembered. This is his story.

CURRENT BRACES IN USE WHEN BEING IN A SEVERE NECK INJURY
Although all these braces seem functional and lack all attractiveness, that doesn't withhold people from using them.
It almost seems like an object which becomes an add-on to their style.
The Kayan people in Myanmar are already formiliar with the concept of wearing objects around your neck as a fashion statement.
