12 units were hung in trees around Burnside Park for the dates of Providence's Winter Lights Market, Dec. 1st-2nd, 2017. The lights reacted to movement detected by PIR motion sensors positioned in the center of their domes.
Process documentation. Housing units were constructed of vacuum formed PET-G, lasercut ply-wood, and steel shelves and hardwear.
12 prototype circuits consisted of one Arduino nano, PIR sensor, LED Ring, and 9V battery.
Each Arduino module has it's own unique code and interaction patterns, positioned strategically around the park to encourage user-interaction and increased dwell time.
