The H-EYE Machine | Built with RGKIT

May 28, 2020

H-EYE! I turned one of my animations into an interactive real life machine using RGKit from Argineering. When Argineering reached out and they wanted to send me their kit to tinker with I knew exactly what I wanted to make! Always wanted to make an interactive version of the ‘Eye Pixels’ project. First thing I’ll hang when I get my own studiooo!

Eyes were collected from discarded doll heads sold at the Friday market in Cairo from previous project. Mechanism was build with toothpicks and craft Popsicle sticks. I did a little bit of arduino in university days years ago, I forgot how much I loved learning electronics, and this project will definitely kick start it again.

Watch this video to know how this whole project started

Tinker Friday

On this blog i'll share all things I do, from offline meet ups to talks and workshops. I'll show you my 'tinker' process; the things I learn about all the products I take apart and what goes on in my brains when I look at the pieces.

Hi there!

Tbh I rarely send out emails, but when I do then it’s something big that you don’t wanna miss!

Thank you!

Have something interesting to tell me? Ahlan!
