Nora & Torvald
February 10, 2009
‘Nora & Torvald’ By rootoftwo (John Marshall and Cezanne Charles) Birch plywood, Arduino micro-controllers, sensors, speakers, audio. ‘Nora & Torvald’ embeds sensor-controlled digital media in custom-designed pieces of furniture. The starting point of this work is a re-reading of Henrik Ibsen’s play “A Doll’s House” (1879) to explore user-object relationships. There is a photocell embedded [...]

Et Dukkehjem
November 10, 2008
et dukkehjem from John Marshall on Vimeo. There is a little photocell embedded in the seat of the armchair ‘Torvald‘. This sends a message when it registers darkness. The webcam then takes an image. There is an accelerometer in the rocking stool ‘Nora‘. When she is rocked this triggers a randomly selected line of her [...]

et dukkehjem (video)
September 17, 2008
et dukkehjem from John Marshall on Vimeo. This is a video made from some of the images captured by Torvald during the Chain Reaction festival 11-14 September, 2008, Skopje, Macedonia. The project website was projected opposite the work: Even when the work was turned off, people still made use of it: There is a little [...]

‘et dukkehjem’ Live
September 12, 2008
‘Et Dukkehjem’ is up and running and open to the public. Last night was the opening. Setting up was not plain sailing. We had to improvise and install our own power. So there are more extension cords visible than I am happy with. Also, we fried 2 electrical transformers and ended up using locally bought [...]

rootoftwo @ Chain Reaction (event)
August 29, 2008
After weeks of work (and a lot of sleep-deprivation) our piece ‘et dukkehjem’ is on its way to Macedonia for the 3rd Upgrade! International Gathering in Skopje, from September 11-14th, 2008. This event takes the form of a city-wide digital art and networked culture festival including exhibitions, screenings, live local and streamed performances and a [...]

More Mrs. Linde
August 27, 2008
Karl Daubmann and PLY Architecture‘s ‘Mrs. Linde’ lamp is now interactive. We have used an Arduino, a PING Ultrasonic Sensor and 20 BlinkMs to make it so that ‘she’ changes color when you approach her. The lamp is laser cut from biodegradable paper (the same stuff used for William McDonough’s ‘Cradle To Cradle’). The base [...]

Mrs. Linde (Update)
August 18, 2008
We are running out of time to complete all the work that needs to be done for ‘Chain Reaction‘. Nora and Krogstad are fully functional (Michael Rodemer helped us out with the electronics). According to FedEx the programmable LEDs for Mrs Linde (pictured above) are on the truck for delivery later today. Karl scaled back [...]

Audio Test
August 7, 2008
Et Dukkehjem Audio Test from John Marshall on Vimeo. This is Krogstad talking. He is speaking selected lines from the character of Nora (Helmer from the Henrik Ibsen play ‘A Doll’s House’). The project uses the Arduino Wave Shield from Adafruit Industries. The table will get a custom-designed top that will hide most of the [...]

Torvald, Nora and Krogstad
August 1, 2008
Torvald and Nora (shown with prototype Krogstad) are done. We’re now working on the electronics for them. Below is a picture of a test of the electronics for Krogstad: This version is hooked up with a passive infrared sensor – this might change for the final version. Et Dukkehjem Audio Test from John Marshall on [...]
