“Each primate was unique and unpredictable,” she said of the experience. “Primates are not domesticated even though they are born in captivity. For me, this project was a combination of science and art.”
Like Us highlights a world of freedom, where the only bars present are those of toddlers’ cribs. You can spot the subtle line of a leash or glinting chain in a few images, which remind of the underlying hierarchy in the households, but most of these primates are loose, lazily lounging on armchairs or reveling at play. Humans make only peripheral appearances that suggest their roles as caretakers: arms reach into the frame to wash, nurse, and feed the primates, but the animals are usually portrayed alone.
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, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, 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.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
