Arduino Tool: For Interactive Artwork Installations

TL;DR

This paper explores the use of Arduino-based tools, specifically Adriano, to enhance interactive artwork installations by integrating technology and art for increased audience engagement.

Contribution

It introduces Adriano as a new Arduino tool designed for interactive art, demonstrating its application in a campus installation to bridge technology and creative expression.

Findings

Adriano effectively supports interactive art installations.

Audience engagement depends on aesthetic and interactive factors.

The integration of sensors and actuators enhances creative experiences.

Abstract

The emergence of the digital media and computational tools has widened the doors for creativity. The cutting edge in the digital arts and role of new technologies can be explored for the possible creativity. This gives an opportunity to involve arts with technologies to make creative works. The interactive artworks are often installed in the places where multiple people can interact with the installation, which allows the art to achieve its purpose by allowing the people to observe and involve with the installation. The level of engagement of the audience depends on the various factors such as aesthetic satisfaction, how the audience constructs meaning, pleasure and enjoyment. The method to evaluate these experiences is challenging as it depends on integration between the artificial life and real life by means of human computer interaction. This research investigates "How Adriano fits for creative and interactive artwork installations?" using an artwork installation in the campus of NTNU (Norwegian University of Science & Technology). The main focus of this investigation has been to get an overview on the intersection between information technology and Arts. This gives an opportunity to understand various attributes like creativity, cooperation and openness of processes influencing the creative Artworks. The artwork is combination of Adriano and other auxiliary components such as sensors, LED's and speakers.
