About this book
Take your creative ambitions in exciting new directions with the easy-to-learn and popular Arduino electronics platform! Arduino for Artists is a guide for amateur and professional artists interested in using the Arduino microcontroller platform to create dynamic and interactive works of art. Discover a new way to leave your creative mark on the world using technology as a medium.
While most how-to books approach Arduino and electronics from a scientific and engineering perspective, Arduino for Artists is designed for creatives who want to use technology as a tool for artistic expression instead.
In this book, you'll learn about programming Arduino microcontrollers and connecting them to electronic components to create art. You'll learn to do things like...
- Create kinetic art displays using motors
- Program individually addressable LED light strips to create complex and mesmerizing light displays
- Add sensors to your art pieces, allowing them to respond dynamically to input from their viewers
If you're an artist looking to incorporate light, motion, and interactivity in your work, Arduino for Artists belongs in your library!
