the “light detector” is the outcome of the workshop in digital tectonics 2011 at Iaac . By taking apart a basic printer and reusing its motors in combination with some laser cut MDF parts and a microcontroller we finally succeeded in transforming the old printer into a light mapping device which could both map light intensity and localize areas of equal light intensities in a radial diagram.
