Laura Sub1

I'm a computational artist, object designer and collector. My work focus around the intersection of 3D printing, virtual objects, and the ever-present influence of the Internet on our lives. I'm passionate about bridging the threshold between the digital and physical domains to create a performative archive that questions conventional archival practices. Through 3D printing, virtual objects, and digital tools, I aim to construct a dynamic and chaotic pile of digital files, concepts, materials and artefacts, inviting viewers to engage with the imperfect nature of our digital world. My research is based on developing tools and methodologies that effectively connect the virtual and physical realms. I position myself as an explorer in the new frontiers of the online. Using technology as a tabula
rasa where new/imposible forms can arise.

The Weather Lamps

The Concept goes around the idea of being connect in distance. How the Internet is nowadays giving us the possibility of interacting with people and places far away from us. The idea is breaking this huge wall, and bringing together sensations in distance. With the light and information about the weather, the Internet is letting me create an object that talks about how I feel.

Technical + Code: this piece is working under OpenFrameWorks and Arduino. Those are connected via Serial messages. OFF is the input, interacting in real time with a Weather API. And Arduino is the output, controlling the El wire light through the values that OFF is sending. This values are affecting to the brightness of the light.

The Physical object, are two lamps, one representing the weather in London and the other one the weather in Barcelona. The lamps are made with acrylic, 3D printed lids and the respective El wire in each one. Both are running with the same Arduino, but is possible also running it with an arduino by their own.
