Projects
Installations powered by LED-Bug controllers and custom firmware.
Coloured Towers
Four five-metre pillars of light that read the colours of visitors’ clothing and mirror them in LED — an interactive installation for Dave Bramston’s Journey in Colour at The Bowes Museum.
Mechanical Tree
A kinetic “mechanical tree” installation combining motion, light, and custom control — built with TechxArtisan’s LED and firmware stack.
Moon River
A light installation reflecting Hakka culture through regeneration and repurposing, installed in ancient Hakka houses in Shenzhen with Dave Bramston and SUSTech School of Design.
Spectrum of Objects
Dave Bramston’s solo exhibition of seven collaborative works — factory leftovers from the Pearl River Delta transformed through light and interaction into a spectrum of forms and colours.
Magic Cube Lamp
A compact, programmable cube lamp showcasing LED-Bug control — colour, motion, and patterns in a product-ready form factor.
LED-Bug Demos
Live demonstrations of LED-Bug controllers — WLED, DMX512, and ESP32 firmware for installations, makers, and artists working with light.
DreamMech Forest
An outdoor installation in Hefei: metal trees with mechanical flowers driven by N20 motors, RGB LED strips, and WiFi-synchronized control across 20–30 blooms.
The First Law of Forest
Chen Baoyang’s installation on humans, machines, and technology — AI, a robot arm, smoke, and spotlights around the metaphor of a “mechanical tree” and the “forest law.”
Congrats X, the Y is in another Z
An AI-driven autonomous car that navigates a randomly generated maze, resets at each exit, and generates a new maze — a collaboration with Chen Baoyang (CAFA) and TechxArtisan.
Hello 5G Light
Ninety-one LED tubes arranged so that, from a specific viewpoint four metres away, the installation reads “Hello 5G” — with preset and custom colour programs for different occasions.
Relationship
With Wang Yuyang: over 300 white LED tubes on motors at both ends, moving in random and patterned rhythms — lights meeting and parting as a metaphor for human connection.
Plato's Cube
Wang Yuyang’s morphing polyhedron: twelve white LED tubes joined by transparent joints, twisting and compressing under program control so the form never repeats.
