Tapestry matrix (2015)

Tapestry of lights, 2015. 200 pixels, in a rough matrix. Pixel string is loosely mounted on a backdrop of silver gray fabric (shower curtain!) with a diffusing layer of organza hung in front of the lights. FastLED, Perlin noise, and custom code for 2D rotation, scaling, and transformation, and cross fades between color palettes - some hand-selected, some machine-generated.

Control box has a brightness slider, and a three-position switch for “chill”, “dynamic”, or “rave” which controls various animation speed and brightness parameters.

Tapestry and power supplies (12v, 8A total) fold flat in a small rolling case, for easy transport and adding atmosphere quickly to parties and events. Hangs from existing curtain rod, or from brads or ‘command hooks’.

(Original source code no longer available, alas.)
