A simple arduino project of mine

This project made a few LEDs to flash in a loop or flash randomly.

Two projects of pd

Those are my pd projects for the workshop module.
The first one is to use pd to mix two short videos.
This second one is to play random frames in one video.

Candlestick

In the module Contemporary Arts, we need to re-mediate an object from the collection of HUNT Museum.
I choose a metal candle stick. Above is the picture. 
I went to the IDC lab to find materials. Then I picked some pieces of aluminum and some wood sticks as the main materials. 
Also I found some capacitances and wires as decorated rings and  nozzles.
The most difficult part is to use the aluminum pieces to make the round base of the candle stick.
 It need to be calculated exactly to make sure the pieces can be sticked to a column shape.
 Also it is difficult to glue it seamlessly and I used a glue and some screws to adhere all the pieces and wood sticks. 
Now I have finished mostly and need to decorate it somehow.
