1. Kinetic/Robotic Artwork

Make an artwork by using hobby motors and/or "found" moving electronic (battery operated) objects such as toys, fans etc and attach them to each other and to various materials. (Hobby motors will be provided in section, For "found" moving objects look in thrift stores). A more advanced option is to use the microcontroller Arduino (a special workshop will be offered.) The way you attach them to each other should generate an interesting movement when turned on. Think about how gravity, friction and other natural laws help produce movement. The story/thought/emotion should primarily be told through movement (through the visuals and sounds the movement produce). Simple patterns of movements can be interpreted as expressions of emotions and intention.
