3D sketches for outer space artefacts

Some screenshots of ideas for developing an ‘alien’ aesthetic for the outer space artefacts.

Sketches for over-sized Arduino-powered tilt switch

Some initial sketches for an over-sized tilt switch that will generate audio through the Arduino board when activated.

The Accomplice – first draft game boards

Some sketches for playable game boards that can also be worked on in a group once printed out, to develop the gameplay.

The design was to be for a circular board, and I also wanted to explore the idea of a minimalist layout and how much information needed to be on the board for it still to be playable.

This blog documents the development of the interactive audio project, We Are Here.

We Are Here is about the time capsule that was returned to Earth by an alien civilisation in response to these original Voyager records. It is a ‘message in a bottle’ from an extraterrestrial life form. Who sent it? And why?

A series of interactive sculptures (Space Rocks) using sound to tell the story of their planet of origin. They are a message sent back to Earth in response to the launch of the Voyager Golden Record.

The final installation uses Arduino microcontrollers connected by LoRa (Long Range) digital wireless data communication, placed in specially-designed 3D printed shells.
