A mechatronic art installation created for the Aortta Party by Hytky. Max/MSP analyzed the beat and sent triggers to an Arduino, which controlled an electric motor. Attached to the motor was a rod with a cardboard heart fixed to its tip. The rod’s position was tracked using a Hall sensor. The heart rhythmically struck a thin veil, backlit with red illumination, creating a dynamic, pulsating visual effect.
