Experimental lighting

Overview

When light hits opaque pastel, it bounces back immediately, causing a wonderful vibration – Gail Boyle

Interactive light project based on a quote. This was my first time using Arduino to program the tilting of the motors hidden inside the overhead box. A proximity sensor causes the fans on the lights to move faster as the user approaches the light. As the fans spin, the wires sway back and forth gently.
