Arduino Light Painting

Posted by Jim - July 6, 2011 - artists, Just Plain AWESOME., LEDs, Light and Photography, Light Art, light painting, Lighting for Enjoyment!

After the Roomba Light Painting article from this morning, I got a bit jazzed about checking out some inspiring light painting articles.

I ran across this one from one of my favorite blogs, Hack-N-Mod, about using an arduino chip to make some excellent pieces of long-exposure light art.  The artist who they feature in the article, Kim Pimmel, used some pretty simple arduino rocking to make some beautiful art.  Some of this stuff is just amazing.

That screenshot above is from Kim Pimmel's Flickr photostream of some of his light art with Arduino.  Amazing.

Here's a video of some of that work – WELL worth your time!  Be inspired!

Thanks, Hack-N-Mod!

    VERY COOL PICTURES! Try light painting using your WEBCAM: http://www.mylightpainting.com. You could also use your iPhone or iPad as light source. Have fun and be the artist.

Halogen lamps have a lifespan on average of 3,100-8,000 hours, and despite their terrible light and Hg-insanity, they last on average between 6,000-16,000 hours.
