Interactive poetry wall

Continuing with the digtial and physical artworks, here is an interactive poetry wall sample. This can be scaled in size and poem construction to fit any wall. Each drum contains a set of 11 words in each category i.e. nouns, adjective's etc. The drums can be slotted in and out which means that any category can easily be updated or a whole new set inserted if required.The drums are made from printed aluminium.

The drums are programmed to respond randomly when a person is detected - eight drums rotate on each occasion. This significantly changes the poem and guarentees a varied combination every time.

The sonic sensor is programmed to respond to people within a range of 5cm to 50 cm's of the artwork. The sonic sensor acts like a bats echolocation.

The background pattern is made from a repeated ampersand.

A short film showing the interactive poetry wall in action is currently being made and will be uploaded when complete.

Thanks enormously to Sue Stewart and Matt Little.
