Note 006 — Technology
If the artwork needs to do something, we build that in.
Glow, move, react, rotate, count, trigger, play sound, change colour or surprise people. We design the technology so it disappears into the work.
Glow
Capability
Embedded LEDs, edge-lit acrylic, neon, controllable colour.
Move
Capability
Stepper-driven motion, rotation, articulated kinetics.
React
Capability
Sensors for proximity, sound, touch, light and presence.
Trigger
Capability
Scheduled or event-driven sequences.
Sound
Capability
Discrete speakers, directional audio, bone-conduction.
Count
Capability
Interaction counters, visit logging, edition tracking.
Surprise
Capability
Hidden mechanisms designed to land at the right moment.
Connect
Capability
Networked pieces. Remote diagnostics. Over-the-air updates.
Control stack
From a single LED to a networked installation.
We write the control code in-house. Microcontrollers and SBCs, addressable LED protocols, motor drivers, audio playback and networked control. Everything documented so the gallery, owner or installer can keep it running long after delivery.
Sample build stack
> ESP32 / RPi controller > WS2812 / DMX addressable LED > stepper + driver (TMC2209) > capacitive / PIR sensor input > playback: I2S audio > MQTT / OTA update channel > sealed enclosure, IP-rated > documented for handover
