The H-EYE Machine | Built with RGKIT

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.
