Special 7 Year Anniversary Meeting
Jonathan Foote - Ghostmatrix
|
The prolific Jonathan Foote's latest hack is a light printer that uses an array of UV LEDs mechanically scanned across phosphorescent paper, leaving a matrix of glowing dots that slowly fade. Hence "ghostmatrix." The linear motor was scavenged from the SRL discard pile, and used an Adafruit Mini POV3 with custom software as the light engine.
Jonathan Foote's technical background includes an engineering Ph.D. and he holds more than 30 US patents. His work explores perception and interaction using a range of sophisticated electronics, from vintage vacuum tubes to the latest semiconductors. He is member of the SWARM collective that has collaboratively designed and built a fleet of autonomous spherical robots. Jonathan has shown his work at numerous Bay Area venues as well as internationally. More information on his work can be found at http://www.rotorbrain.com/jtfdesign
