"Sampling the Landscape: Passage"

This 4" x 6" art book has 4 pages, each presenting a changing light display, based on which pages have been opened or closed. The displays are a fanciful interpretation of changing landscapes at various times of day and season. This book is part of my collaboration with Prof. Linda-Lauro Lazin for our Sampling the Landscape series, funded in part by a Faculty Development Grant from Pratt Institute.

"Sampling the Landscape: Passage" Art book with embedded LEDs. As each page is opened, a signal is read by a microprocessor, which adjusts the brightness of the 16 LEDs mounted in the book.

Here are other views:

Prototype art book with embedded LEDs. View 2.: As the visitor turns the pages, the book is programmed to present views of each page individually, as well as to vary the views seen through the pages.

The controlling circuit and batteries are mounted behind the last page, making the book entirely portable.
