LIGHT TUBE ANEMONES

|
Light Tube Anemones is a lighting installation that aims to bring awareness to the way that deep-sea creatures use bioluminescence and light patterns to communicate at depths where no light exists. Bioluminescence is natural light made by living animals. Examples of bioluminescent organisms include yellow-glowing Tompteris worms, certain species of squid, northern krill, the scaleless black dragon fish, and deep-sea jellyfish. These organisms spend their lives living in near-darkness. Species such as these use their bioluminescence for self-defense, to find a mate, and when hunting.
Light Tube Anemones are made from morphed sticks of acrylic mounted on a wooden base. Beneath each piece of acrylic is a Neopixel light. The entire installation uses eleven Neopixel rings, all daisy-chained together. The rings are coded with an Arduino and randomly display either a breathing sequence, a fading sequence, or a theater chase sequence. Only one "anemone" lights up at a time. After one displays a pattern, another one randomly displays a response, and so on.
