Session
In late 2019, my city, City of Whittlesea, Victoria, sought works by local artists on the theme of "SOS Climate Change”.
My submission, "Natural Sequence or Fabricated" won the "People's Choice Award" and uses MicroPython-powered microcontrollers to create a dynamic sculpture on the theme.
This talk will take the attendees through solving the problems encountered in building the sculpture.
