Ecohacker Creates Vertex of Art and Speculative Thinking in the Woods #ArtTuesday
Ecohacker has created a structure in the woods of Delhi, NY, which represents sustainability, open culture and decentralization.
This summer, the EcoHacker artist collective is creating its first LARGE SCALE art installation. We’re gathering a group of ten artists, architects and hackers to build a networked, semi-autonomous structure in the woods of Delhi, NY. We intend the structure to become a core symbol in representing what we believe to be the three most important concerns of the 21st century: sustainability, open culture and decentralization. Participating Artists: Sally Bozzuto (sallybozzuto.com), Sophia Sobers (sophiasobers.net), Chihao Yo (chihaoyo.me), Terri Chiao (asmallspace.com, eternitystew.com), Adam Frezza (adamfrezza.com, eternitystew.com), Gene Kogan (genekogan.com), Jon Sims (chromadetic.com), Brian House (brianhouse.net), Anne Goldenberg (lerse.net), David Kim and others.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
