Kazushi Mukaiyama, Masaki Maeda
2009
LED, micro-computer, battery, acrylic capsule
WAVO is an illumination art work using a micro-computer. It consists of a PoSC micro-computer, an accelerator sensor and a 16x16 matrix LED and express moving light waves. These waves are calculated by Wave Equation in real-time. Therefore, people can feel beautiful moving of lights. Yet, people can enjoy interacting waves because WAVO has an accelerator sensor. Interacting with people, this art work notices fascinating aspects of mathematics to people. Today, artists can personally get hardware and software to make hi-quality electronic pieces. This means Media Art will vary much more. Small and compact works is one of the variations. A Media Art work is becoming from a big one in only special gallery to a smaller one on your palm like the contents of mobile phone. At least, we got new materials which mean electronic sensors, switches and so on. WAVO is one of the evidences in this situation.
