download mp4

Angela's wheely bin, complete with "Ashfield council" label, reacts to people as they approach it. It either moves towards them or away. Angela's "bin bomb" was part of the Interactive sculpture exhibition at Ashfield mall. Angela completed a 6 week workshop with artist in residence Ian Burns. http://ianburns.net
Her bin is powered by a remote control car, which is driven by a $6 CPU programmed in BASIC, reading light dependent resistors to detect the shadow of approaching people.
