Description
LED lighting for your art projects and an introduction to the Smart Art Series with Michael Pierce
LED lighting revolutionizes the way we perceive and showcase art. With its ability to produce a vast spectrum of colors and precise control over intensity and directionality, LED lighting allows artists to accentuate the beauty and intricacies of their creations. From static pieces to interactive installations, LED lighting brings art to life, captivating viewers with its vibrant illumination and enhancing the overall aesthetic experience.
This presentation will cover simple plug-and-play modules for controlling LED lights and strips and a brief overview of Off-the-shelf Plugins, Pattern Controllers, Remote Control, and Phone Controllers. LED lighting combined with plug and play modules brings a new level of convenience and flexibility to the world of illumination. Users can easily connect and disconnect modules without the need for complex wiring or specialized expertise. The combination of LED lighting and plug and play modules empowers users to create personalized lighting solutions that are versatile, efficient, and tailored to their specific needs.
This presentation will also introduce a new 4-session series for more in-depth control and interactivity of your art projects using the “Circuit Playground Express” and Makecode programming. These sessions on smart art with interactivity and sensors reveal the exciting potential for artists to create immersive, engaging, and ever-evolving artworks that captivate and inspire viewers in unprecedented ways.
