About
In a collaboration with the Socialen Bar we are building a sign with the 8 letters of S O C I A L E N designed by 8 different artists. They will then be mounted on an indoor balcony railing in the bar and light the way to new encouters.
Process
- We decided on a type that has been used already in the communication. Avenir Black. Choosen because it resembles the type used by the actual governmental agency Socialtjänsten.
- All letter are being cut out times 2 to create a space between them where we can hide cords and stuff. They are being cut by Daniel A on hos full size CNC at Värmeverket in Bredäng.
- The pitch to the artists is being set. You need to make a dressing to your letter that uses three dimensions and include some sort of lighting.
- In week 4 we collect all letters and make sure they meet the requirements and look good together. We then use one week to do adjustments.
The electronics
- We use one usb-charger hub with 8 outlets. Every letter then gets a maximum of 1,2 A and 5 V. In terms of ws2812b that is approximatly 18 st on full power. (all on all white full brightness).
- Every letter will get an esp to ensure that the usb-charger station provides the needed amout of power and to make it possible further on to controll the lights.
