Solar Powered Art Exhibit
Invention, Design and Research
A fun invention envisioned while collaborating with Aisling Maguire while we taught a 2 unit graduate course in the University of California at Berkeley’s, Fine Art Practice Department. This project was documented by Eli Leland and Steve Pepe of the Energy and Resources/Materials Science C226: Photovoltaic Materials; Modern Technology in the Context of a Global Renewable Energies Market offered in the fall of 2006 at UC Berkeley.
Design, testing, and deployment of a standalone solar power system that powered an array of computers, monitors and projectors in a redwood treehouse as part of the final art exhibit for this course.
