Design and robotics, April 2025

Components: Crystal quartz C-note bowl, MDF epoxy covered board, Arduino, servo motor, DC geared motor, lazy Susan, PIR sensor, spring mechanism, 12V power source, projector, computer, blankets, curtains

Résumé:  Sound Bowl is an immersive, interactive installation designed to foster stillness through sensory engagement created with Scarlett-Arianne Perez Hernandez. Using Arduino-controlled motors, the piece activates a sound bowl when motion is no longer detected in the room. The gentle hum of the crystal bowl, combined with fabric textures and background video projections, creates a meditative atmosphere.

Themes: Meditation, slowness, and the intersection of therapy, spirituality, and technology. It asks: can machines support mindfulness and healing.

Goal: To invite quiet reflection and explore how robotic systems can support meditative practices and sensory restoration.
