The project was part of the IAAC workshop “Hacking Devices” with Victor Viña .The basic task was to hack into existing technologies and re-define it for a different use . We decided to dismantle a printer and mount it on a wood axis ,as well as adding a light sensor to it , thus transforming it into a light mapper .

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.

Our first thought was how to use the movement as a source of information and interaction with a machine.
We decided to use a color as a source of interaction and real data creating an image of this stimulus on a physical result.
The idea was to hack a printer and a CD writer to achieve 3 axis of movement.

Basically, the machine works with 4 main steps: IMPUT_color stimulus, CAMERA-Screen_to identify the movement, PROCESS the information and RESPONSE on a physical result. This physical result was an expression of the movement stimulus with allows us to use this machine to create different patterns of expression.
