Human’s firmness and gentleness can be told with clenched fists and open plam. In this way, the ridge of the hand can fluctuate hardly or smoothly. Everybody has their mountain of their own movements. These can shape a mountain of human character.

Humans can be firm and gentle, so do a mountain to be hard and soft. I want to metaphor a human being as a mountain. My character is in this mountain, and this mountain is me.

This piece of work is made by arduino combined with p5js. It is an individual work. It has been shown on ITP winter show 2019.

Concept

Sculpturing the Stone

Image Recognition

  
I did the image recognition using javascript using edge detection and image processing. I also built my own simple interface for debuging all the linear actuators.
