Open Studios

The day is here! Open Studios for the residency. Here are some pictures of the people interacting with my installation. I’m pleased with the result and I got positive feedback from it.

What an amazing experience!

Today I started to build the final prototype. The first step was to connect the pressure sensors to the Arduino without the alligator clips. I tried using yarn to hide the conductive thread but it was taking too much time. So I decided to test other materials. Kate gave me a little piece of this white fabric with conductive thread in the middle

But I decided to go with the ribbon cable, since it was going to be more organized and easier to set up.

Finally, all the sensors wired!
