Set Up

Tonight’s set up went without a hitch — well, almost. The amount of AMPs allotted to 216 Kent Square proved to be a problem. With both RevoOVER and Frightling on at the same time the circuit breaker kept getting switched. The solution was to unfortunately turn off RevoOVER during the exhibit.

We’re Live

Frightling proved to be a very popular exhibit — especially with young children. This one little girl, maybe six years of age, continually came back to the exhibit to play the on the frightling exhibit.

Truman Capone, the director for Virginia Tech’s School of Visual Arts seemed to enjoy pounding the drum to see how fast he could calm the storm.

After a while, Frightling became almost a game through the night as people tried to see how fast they could calm the storm.

Vibration Sensor Problems

The vibration sensor continually fell from the drum as the public would hit the drum too hard. In testing, we seemed not to have this problem however you never know what the public is going to do. After an hour into the exhibit, disaster, some one broke the sensor in half. We kept the storm going, but without the essential drum prop. Greg resoddered the sensor together, which fixed the problem temporarily for the rest of the night.

Tomorrow we are going to either duck tape the sensor to the drum, or utilize the motion sensor instead for data.
