Here's Why

Interactive Sculpture Gallery

left to right: Ian, Robyn, Bharti, Nikki, Neil, and Angela (with me at the rear) Ian Burns ran two consecutive six week workshops teaching Ashfield locals electronics and programming to enable them to build an interactive sculpture. My sculpture has eyes that follow you based on light sensors and a chip programmed in Basic. This is the rear view showing the meccano eye movement, servo motor and $6 PIC computer chip. The exhibition was held last Saturday, 26th June 2010
