Unity of Motion is a huge organism consisting of HEART, MACHINE, and NATURE.
Sensor sculpture “HEART” captures and transmits user’s heartbeat to two enormous multi-vision screens “NATURE” and “MACHINE”, making real-time rendered moving images which synchronize with the heartbeat.

  

Unity of Motion은 HEART, MACHINE, NATURE 로 구성된 거대한 유기체이다.
실제 자동차의 엔진 피스톤을 가공하여 제작된 조형물 HEART 의 센서에서 사용자의 심장박동 데이터를 MACHINE과 NATURE의 모니터로 전달하여, 사용자의 심장박동에 유기적으로 반응하는 거대한 실시간 영상을 만들어낸다.

Contribution

Design & fabrication of sensor sculpture HEART

  • Participated in design & fabrication of heartbeat sensor HEART by transforming car engine piston into interactive sculpture (50%)
  • Designed and fabricated pulse sensor embedded PCB board using infrared pulse oximetry (80%)
  • Developed HEART software which senses user’s heartbeat and sends pulse signal out to receiver through RF24 wireless communication module, using Arduino and Processing (60%)
