Open Digital Canvas
Nicolás Maruri Mendoza · 2007
The candidate will participate in a specific artistic project. The project consists of designing and implementing a system that will ensure that roughly 120 boards with 25 LEDS each together will form an artistic product. The project will be carried out by programming the specific boards, setting up a system to be able to control the boards individually and as a whole. The system should be controllable by third parties using an online input system, for intance a web page. The project work varies from programming low-level hardware to communication protocols on a TCP/IP level, and finally a high level system for third parties to communicate with the system. The project will be carried out together with selected parties at IDI already involved in the project. The result will be an electronic installation at ITV-054 for public display. In addition, the candidate will have to ground his work and compare it to state of the art projects. Finally he will have to reflect on his own development process as well as on other challenges that will arise at the intersection between art and software, artists and technical parties.
