Our Story

Evolution

Our vision of the final project was not always an LED sculpture. At first, we planned on implementing our own Fast Fourier Transform from scratch and creating a visualizer in pygame. The LED sculpture and the GUI were stretch goals. However, we pivoted when we decided our interests were in visuals more than the math. The LED sculpture became the focus of the project after the pivot.

Harper Owen

Harper is a mechanical engineer at Olin College, class of 2019. She loved being part of this project because it integrated many differnet types of engineering - software, mechanical, social, and mathematical - together into an functional and beautiful sculpture. Harper worked on the FFT analysis and visual design aspects of this project.
