The Cloud
Arduino controlled motion triggered lightning & thunder and music activated EL wire diffuse flashes combined into a suspended speaker unit. The Cloud is a felted Nightlight – Nightspeaker hybrid, acting either as a semi-emersive lightning experience or a speaker. The controls of the cloud are tactile switches scattered around the base, similar real clouds which constantly change the switches are subtle and require constant exploration to find the right switch to turn the right feature on or off.
Richard this is awesome. Great pictures as well but this is really one of those pieces the internet will never do it justice, well done.
Agree with Matt. You really have to experience the Cloud in person. I would still love to see it hovering above a DJ in a club, like Daft Punk. I think it’s awesome.
I disagree with the point that this piece cannot be represented well online. I call for a better video, Richard!
