Light[s]well is a custom 4'x8' light installation for a triple-height living room, made voice-responsive by using the Arduino Alexa skill. The structure comprises 80/20 extrusions and fasteners, with LED strips embedded in the channels of the structure. 74 sheets of laser-cut cardstock make up the undulating light-diffusing wave pattern.
30 LEDs per meter strips were used to give each gap in the cardstock 2 LEDs per structural metal beam, for a total of 6 LEDs per gap. The LEDs are individually addressable and are powered by an Arduino MKR1000 (using a logic level shifter) in conjunction with Arduino Create / IoT CLoud.
The design was made in Rhino 7 WIP and Grasshopper.
