Machine Flowers

Extended Design Study

An aesthetic experiment, equal part industrial robotics and surveillance camera.
Without a long dissertation; it is an object designed to invoke uncomforability.

The project was born from a five-week study of embedded electronics in design,
which resulted in in a tri-bladed, arduino-powered lighting fixture. Its predecessor,
Version 2 (pictured above) is in its final stages of development.

Both units are fully 3D-printable, assemble with metric fasteners, and use 5v LED pixel strips.
While aesthetically-focused, the project was challenging from a technical standpoint.
