Spirotrope

Witaya Junma (Thailand)

The work is composed of Spirograph, Stirling engine and an Arduino, three inventions from different eras. Each visitor is invited to draw a pattern using the Spirograph, and place it in a special holder that spins it with a Stirling engine. This engine provides electrical power for the Arduino, allowing it to blink so that the Spirograph pattern will be animated differently at various rates.

Artist’s Statement

As an artist, I am enthusiastic about applying fresh approaches to my art, especially ones involving science and technology. My work is often a result of my observation and the learning of the imitation of the nature. The role of technology is essential to increase efficiency and convenience. In the art world, I attempt to enhance storytelling and amplify expressions through tech/science-based solutions and find it more competent than that of the conventional.
