Using LEDs and an Arduino, Zach converted a simple lamp into a hypnotic work of art. Knobs and sensors were added to control the animation and colors. Zach will reveal the HypnoLamp's secrets, and discuss the creative process, interactivity, and the coming revolution in home lighting.

 

Zach is a developer who focuses on interactive media and installations. He lives in Portland.

 

Why stop at Speak n' Spells and Nintendos?  Big Pauper employees an obscure arsenal of hand-modified electronics to sculpt multimedia installations, sound design & glitch visuals.  Glitch video production will be the matter at hand this evening as Pauper shares the methods & the madness behind modifying video equipment, personal computers and video gaming hardware.  Should be good fun!!

Big Pauper is a multimedia artist, producer & mad scientist of sorts living here in Portland, OR.  He works as part of the circuit bent sound-art collective Folktek.  He also breaks video gear for a living under the enterprise Big Pauper Modified Circuitry.  He also just released a multimedia EP you should hear/view: http://www.djpz.com/unnecessary_human_enterprise_ep/
