PrusaLab’s Reflection: 91 Undulating Mirrors #ArtTuesday

If you ever enjoyed music festivals, then out there in the future there is a time when you are back at music festivals. And in that future time you will see once more the often amazing art installations that adorn the festival landscape. PrusaLab has made just such an installation. It’s called “Reflection” and has 91 individual mirrors controlled by 182 servos. Here’s more from Make Magazine:

The results you see are the culmination of 6 months of hard work between Adam, Petr, and the team of people at PrusaLab. It drew a constant crowd at Signal festival, with over 60,000 people coming to view it…. In total, there are 91 individual mirrors, controlled by 182 servos. Each mirror is individually controlled, but on the back end the whole thing is split into modules of just a few mirrors. It takes 6 raspberry pi boards to pull everything together and make it all communicate.
