The Penis Wall
The Penis Wall is a kinetic sculpture consists of 81 erectable 3D printed penises that can respond to viewers movements, or dance to a music, or visualize any dataset, for instance, the fluctuations in the stock market.
///
The penis is so different! This was my initial motivation, to study one of the oldest and probably the most attractive thing that humans interact with.
///
The installation is made up of 81 stereolithography 3D printed penises that each has six segments driven by a servo motor. Equipped with sensors and circuit boards, it has three modes:
///
(1). Interactive Mode. The installation can detect viewers’ body movements via 81 ultrasonic distance sensors, and erect penises in corresponding area.
///
(2). Data Visualization Mode. Each penis can be used as one pixel in a 'penis display' to visualize any dataset. Currently, each penis is linked to one stock in the S&P 100 Dow Jones Index, so the whole installation can visualize fluctuations in the United States stock market.
///
(3). Music Mode. The installation can be pre-programed to dance to any music. Our customized software can adjust all penises' speed and amplitude to synchronize their movements/patterns with the music.
