3 led circles, 9 motors, nice play with light, shadows and motion.

#inspiration 3 led circles, 9 motors, nice play with light, shadows and motion.

It took me a while to understand why 3 motors are not enough for that… So the solution is: each circle hangs on 3 individually controlled strings, right?

Yes you can see them at the end of the video, they are positioned in Y shape

They use hardware from this company, they have interesting products for shows : http://www.kinetic-lights.com/

Ah, DMX winches - nice!

That design is great. Super display.

Did you use the pixel rings made by kinetic lights as well?

It’s not mine, I wish it was, just gathering ideas and getting inspired, and sharing of course :wink:

Haha well I believe you’ve succeeded. Thanks for sharing!

Minimum quantity of winches you can order = 20, but wow, I enjoyed their video https://vimeo.com/124942774

I found the work from this artist, he does kinetic installations, that require less motors, not same freedom but also not same hardware requirements and cost :wink:

I like very much the idea of light in motion.

I like the idea of light in motion without messing arround with wiper contacts.

The biggest circle is similar to what I am working on in shape and size. But they seem to have strips on both the inside and outside, which I don’t like because it leaves a gap at the edges. You never see a full circle, just two slightly offset half circles.
