If the scenes we know from animations would happen in our daily life? if light on your hair can naturally turn on, and light up the way where you are. what would you feel? My fantasy drives me to explore the combination between nature and human activities.
Lighting hair is an experiment project which I try to connect the lightning bug like green light with human hair, by applying LED and a microcontroller, the Arduino Nano. Before using Arduino, I simply connect all Led together and I sit them in to a jar. It’s suttle beauty reminds me of the nights in summer, full of lightning bugs.
0.10mm copper wires 0.2 mm LED green
It’s very interesting to play with electronic components.
Before making sure that everything works well, I need to do many tests in order to modify and correct mistaes .
Thanks to model Laura Signer here. (picture in dark room)
