STRP festival (Eindhoven , The Netherlands).
Sunday 27 November, Me and my girlfriend (Lisa) drove to Eindhoven to visit the STRP festival. Which is a really really cool festival for everybody who loves art and technology! I made a few video’s and pictures of the amazing art they’ve shown! I hope that they may inspire you to build your own crazy stuff! I’m not showing all the art but a small selection!
after entering the building (old Philips factory which was a amazing location!) we walked directly into the first work of art:
DUNE by Daan Roosegaarde
Dune is an interactive dunescape is comprised of hundreds of LED lights. This dunescape interacts with human behavior. This hybrid of nature and technology is composed of large amounts of fibers that brighten according to the sounds and motion of passing visitors.

after that it get’s weirder (=
Spatial Sounds by Edwin van der Heide
“Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100km/h) is an interactive audio installation by Marnix de Nijs and Edwin van der Heide. In this engine-powered installation, a speaker is mounted onto a rotating arm that is several meters long. Like a watchdog, the machine scans the surrounding space for visitors. Closer investigation would be tempting fate, with the rotating arm swinging so powerfully round. You hear the impressive sound of the mighty motor revving up, turning faster and faster. You can feel the displacement of air as the speaker whizzes past you, and you had better step back, out of reach. The machine slows down and, when the shock wears off, you start exploring the space, with your movements manipulating the sound it produces. Just don’t get too close! Spatial Sounds (100dB at 100km/h) builds up a physically tangible relationship with the visitor, since it is the game of attracting and repelling between machine and visitor that determines its sound and movement.”

Mill X Molen By Bert Schutter
Twelve huge monitors are arranged in the scape of the four sails on a windmill at rest. The sails form a Maltese cross. Each screen shows a third of a windmill sail to create a single sail in each row of three monitors. The contrast between the static monitor set-up (the idle windmill sails) and the dynamic loud, whooshing sound of the churning sails and the moving images in the monitors creates the tension in this video sculpture. The movement seems to jump out of the monitor screens.
Intimacy 2.0 by Daan Roosegaarde
INTIMACY is a fashion project exploring the relation between intimacy and technology. Its high-tech garments entitles ‘Intimacy White’ and ‘Intimacy Black’ are made out of opaque smart e-foils that become increasingly transparent based on close and personal encounters with people.

Revolve by Macular
Revolve is an impressive kinetic machine that throws abstract light patterns into the surrounding area. Hundreds of LEDs create a generative composition of stroboscopic pulses and light lines. Macular is a collective of artist who investigate the interaction between light, sound and motion.

The Legible City by Jeffrey Shaw
The Legible City is a 3D digital rendering of three cities. The architectural landscape is formed by letters and texts by Dirk Groeneveld. The bicycle had electronic measuring devices on its handlebars and ped als which indicated to the computer-graphic system the momentary position and speed of thebicyclist. As a consequence of this information, the computer could calculate and display on the screen the appropriate sequence of images.

12_series by Telcosystems
In a pitch-black room twelve screens and twelve speakers make up the audiovisual horizon, revealing the dynamics of twelve identical image and sound generating machines. Inspired by the principles of evolution and decentralized autonomous decision making, 12_series implements forms of audiovisual imitation, mutation and recombination, aiming for the emergence of captivating complexity from a vocabulary of rudimentary shapes, sounds and logic.
Now the last one:
Phase is order by Macular
“Phase=Order” is a kinetic light installation in which 96 screens move, reflect, and organize to create an abstract field of shadow and light. The installation is the physical output of a research into self-organizing processes in nature and programming these nature-like behaviors into artificial material.
I would like my art displayed there next year! (=
As you can see i cut out a few squares (weight reduction) in the alu version i didn’t cut them out( to much work!)
It’s really really simple i build this using two servo’s and two strips of aluminium. the servo’s i used one parallax servo (120 degrees) and one model-craft (90 degrees) servo.
