[Borner, Katy]

Dear Bloomington Makers,
As you might have seen, the ¡°Amatria¡± sentient architecture installation is growing on the 4th floor of Luddy Hall. Amatria is a rather smart art piece with hundreds of feathers, glass vessels, and other elements but also hundreds of sensors and actuators.  It will provide a rather gentle and beautiful introduction of IoT (Internet of Things) to a general audience.

Amatria aims to create a community of artists, designers, makers, engineers, scientists, and humanists that are interested to work together on desirable futures of human-machine intelligence and interaction. As part of the overall community process, we welcome volunteers (1 hour or more) to assist with the on©\site assembly of the sculpture.

No prior knowledge is required, hands-on training is less than 5mins. All are welcome.
Feel free to bring your family and friends.

Amatria is composed of a series of polymer and metal scaffold structures holding glass vessels and fitted with electronically controlled low©\voltage LED lights and miniature kinetic mechanisms. Surrounding the polymer scaffold is a floating undulating layers of interlinking skeletal polymer forms. The sculpture expresses delicate clouds of hovering ornamental material surrounding concentrations of interaction. Softly glowing lighting effects and kinetic vibration respond to movements of individual occupant. The sculpture will act as a beacon, with responsive light visible from a distance within the campus.

Days/times: March 21th¨C31st from 10am©\7pm (feel free to check with team on evening hours).

This is a very unique opportunity to create interactive art + IoT together.
Best regards,
