TEEN AND ADULT CLASSES The Way Cool LED Cube Instructor-Chris Lee |
|
Image from The New Light |
Leo Villareal’s work utilizes sometimes thousands of LEDs which are animated by a computer program to generate light and color patterns. Some of Villareal’s works are based on mathematician John Conway’s “Game of Life” in which a system evolves based on a set of rules. In this one-day workshop students will have the opportunity to build a 3-D LED cube that operates similarly to Villareal’s, using the “Game of Life” principle to create a flickering, animated cube. Students will be guided through the process of building the cube from soldering the LEDs to wiring and programming.
