Model for Fantasy Artwork

My idea to incorporate an Arduino into an art piece is to make a modern day do nothing machine.

"In 1957, the Eameses designed the SOLAR DO-NOTHING MACHINE. True to the Eameses' belief that toys are not as innocent as they appear, the machine was one of the first uses of solar power to produce electricity."


My plan is to instead of showing how solar power can create art, to show how an interactive computer experience can invoke a feeling of wonder and whimsy in the audience.

The piece will have some buttons, switches and dials that can start and stop movements, create different lights, and adjust the speed of various things.
