Thesis

My project is a sculpture of a rain cloud that drops raindrops and lights up. It works using a servo motor and Arduino, which opens up a hatch on the bottom of the cloud to drop raindrops when you turn a dial, as well as having a led strip for light that also attaches to the Arduino and dial, which is all mounted to a laser cut frame and covered in cloud-like tissue paper. I made this project to try to convey the feelings of calmness and happiness that my client, Theo, had when he was on a camping trip, and it started raining, and everyone went into a tent.

I made a comforting fireplace that is meant to evoke soothing memories of a warm fireplace on a cold day.

Project Statement

Mini-Motor is a made to be a scale model of a outboard motor that will function like one while also being much smaller and easier to understand/simpler.

This Mini-motor will be used to teach people about motors and how to fix/use them. This motor can also be used to test ideas on how to fix your motor while using a much less expensive item to test the ideas

Inspiration

In Electronic Vessels we had to create a product for our 'client'/fellow students in the studio that would help express the idea behind their original work in Identity vessels. In my partner's case the idea he focused on was Collaboration between people, which if it isn't nescessary can be quite hard to achieve. In order to accomplish this I decided that my project had to have a clear goal to achieve, such as getting something like food or a gift, hence why my project is called the candy vault because you need two people to open the vault, one to input the code on a separate console to unlock the vault itself and the other to send the code, which is on the vault along with a button for using morse code. Ideally this project could be used to help foster teamwork, relations or as a fun puzzle with two people. but to ensure the vault is not opened early without the right code the door is going to have a dead bolt run through it that is connected to a motor, which only retracts the motor when the right code is inputted.
