Idea Details
Palomas
Description
Interactive light installation using pigeons as inspiration to recreate the action of trying to catch a runaway pigeon using wax, led lights, motion sensors and mini speakers. There are 13 wax pigeons with two led lights inside, one blue and one white also they have a motion sensor attached to their chest. When the installation is active there are 12 pigeons lighted in white and one blue, the blue indicating the target, when the user stands in front of the blue pigeon the light starts to jump from one pigeon to the other making a flapping sound until it stops and marks another target. This installation is created to bring life to any public space especially the abandoned, unused and forgotten ones like plazas and parks as an attraction for kids and adults alike, to visit and play. Here is a link for a video of how the prototype was made http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpW5DsepWe4 enjoy!

Cool idea for interactivity in a public place and multiple children could play at the same time. LED Head
he he he... very cool indeed... almost like chasing a chicken. How did the \'pigeons\' know when they were caught? This would be a great game for under active children. howman
I imagine this in the backyard of my house and my children playing with the pigeons. And when I make the family parties, all the people interacting with it! wow Idalia
is there a way to lose the cables? Classic
Yes, this is a prototype, the intial concept was always to use wireless but with lack of time and funds we had to use the cables but yes it\'s in the plan to loose the cable and use wireless technology, also we want to add more pigeons and make them bigger EID
This is a great idea EID and really impessive to see an actual technical installation. Imagine them filling a whole park or even a city - perhaps with colour mixing LEDs to create different effects. Martyn79
good idea for the night urban spaces jan
wowowowoowowo incredible beautiful i hate this animals and in Rome and venezia there are thousands of this disgusting animals seeing this project on the piazza san marcos would have been amazing!!!! user not found
A very original idea! I love pigeons, especially scaring the life out of them. I never knew you could power these wirelessly! I would have thought this could be semi-permenant - attached to the ground and powered from there. Like alot of art installations it would be disassembled after a period of time. You should bring these to Trafalgar Square in London, it might scare the real pigeons away!x user not found
Thanks:)!! We have a video of the process of making the prototype please watch here is the link enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpW5DsepWe4 EID
congartulations! this is an amazing idea! petra
Very cool! I\'d love to see the wireless version. I think it would also be ideal to be able to control the speed in which the blue light moves from one pigeon to the next. Levels of difficulty! user not found
This is very good idea also with a realization. My little boy would try it certainly but I should have fear about damaging of pigeons ;). Your video tells everythink, this is art, action, great emotions thanx to jumping light. And what you will do after this exposition? Will we can see the pigeons also in other cities? I wish you all best. durica
Thanks :) we wish you the best as well. Yes theres a risk with it being wax and all but we wanted to separate them as much as possible for it to be comfortable to walk or run around them without the fear of damaging them. This idea is meant for it to be mobile so we could move it from place to place easily. We would go to a park set it up for a period of time create emotion and move to another location and do the same. We would take them around the world if possible so maybe... \"Palomas\" coming to a city near you ;) EID
I wait to see it in small Slovakia, I hope you will be prosperous and will come here ;) durica
if we can we will:) EID
