I’m really excited to share a piece of art that’s been two years in the making. I call it Algorithmic Precipitation.
The piece is built from a custom printed circuit board. In the top copper layer is a city intersection, with a woman crossing the street. An everyday moment from a future that hasn’t quite arrived yet.
Across the scene, a downpour of small green raindrops falls from the sky, rendered using a grid of WS2812-2020 LEDs controlled by an ATmega328PB microcontroller. Two white LEDs occaisionally flash like lightning. A single amber LED mimics a failing streetlight.
The work is an exploration of what a post-singularity world might look like, where the boundary between the natural world and technology has blurred, and both are part of the same evolving system.
Also, I am trying to get better at this social media stuff, so today I uploaded my first YouTube video! If you want to see more of this piece, I made a long form video detailing every step of how I made it. Likes, boosts, and subscribers are appreciated!
