This is a project that I worked with artist Peter Blunt on will be in One Spark. Inspired by the Jetsons and old Star Trek, we made a Retro-Future Desk (Peter calls it the Space Cadet Desk, but I have standards) It has lots of blinking lights and buttons to push and a psuedo-theremin using an IR distance sensor.

Specs: 1 Arduino Mega, 1 Adafruit Boarduino (Decimila clone), 3 8x8 Bi
color matrices (with SPI), 2 24 LED PWM boards, 7 Adafruit Neopixels
(RGB LEDs with built in controller chips) 1 unused mp3 decoder board
(conflicted with PWM boards :-( plus power issues) 1 Servo, 1 IR
sensor, 1 Joystick
By default the Bicolor matrices run the Conway's Life cellular
automata simulator, and a pitch indicator when the theremin is active.
About 2500 lines of C code went into making it all function together.
It is housed at the Southlight Gallery, near Hemming Plaza, on Hogan
Street between Adams and Monroe.
For One Spark , we are in the Art category, titled "Art of Furniture"

Peter plans to continue to make more themed art desks in the coming
year. This was just the first of many.
