Day 2-'ISH'
we decided to create a robot designed to create light art... Light art always looks good, you could tie a L.E.D to a cat and it would look amazing, so the aesthetics of the end result won't be a problem. Giving the art context was going to be harder.
we wanted to use colored balls as our input, the group was set on that. so with our input and output decided on we needed to choose 'processing' that would give the project meaning... HARDER THAN IT SOUNDS! one of our ideas was to have the movements of the sculpture relate to the wave lengths of the colored balls... but the NXT has far too much error for it to produce anything that precise. Another idea was that the project could be a very scaled down version of a greater concept. For example i had the idea for a large art inhalation that translated a scanned image into the motion of a kinetic sculpture every pixel on the image would be considered on its own and then in the greater context of the art. the human connotations we have for colors, and combinations of colors would be given suitable styles of movement, and the end result would be a bunch of movement that had the same "feeling" as the photo. So we had to develop a nxt program that at a far far far more basic level translated colors into a mood which could be conveyed through motion and then turned into a still photo.
