From X / To X project

The artistic installation is present in two different rooms: “From X” and “To X”. The first room features a laboratory, where a microscope projects images of a microscopic form. The microscope is controllable with a joystick. The latter’s movements are sent to another room, which stages a robotic landscape of sand projection on cathode ray screens.

The problem

The solution

web

  1. A computer sends a file with curl command
  2. On a website, a PHP script handles the file upload
  3. An Arduino program for the ESP8266 chip requests this file from the server and extract data
