Apologies for x-posting:

I am pleased to share with you the latest interactive audio-visual art 
installation commissioned by the Ballston BID in Arlington, VA. Below is 
general info. You can already find some photos online using the 
#BallstonCloud hashtag, including ones posted on:

For those interested in the tech side of things, 50 Raspberry Pis are 
running pd-l2ork and are powered via single USB cable, while powering 
three 80mA LEDs, three photoresistors, one mic and one 4W speaker 
(amplified via RPi's USB port). RPi uses a small USB soundcard and a 
Modern Device shield which is supported out-of-box via pd-l2ork to 
provide 10 digital I/Os (with PWM), and 8 analog inputs (via MCP3008).



Professors Ivica Ico Bukvic and Aki Ishida are excited to announce the 
public opening of our newest collaborative installation /Cloud/. The 
first weekend in October, a constellation of fifty light- and 
sound-emitting /cloudlets/ that make up the /Cloud/ will fill the 
central space of Welburn Square in Ballston, Virginia. This networked 
artwork is an interactive project, built and programmed in community 
workshops led by the artist team. After it is placed in the square, it 
will take on a life of its own as the /cloudlets/ communicate with each 
other and its environment by exchanging messages of light and sound. 
Come immerse yourselves in the /Cloud/
