Christi Genet Kapp creates and connects combinations of people, processes and technology. She does this in a variety of ways including sculpting, leather work, writing, being an entrepreneur, or working as an information technology leader and consultant. Her artistic experience includes motorcycle concept design, metal work, leather work, and graphic design for Art In Motion, LLC. Mediums she uses most often include metal, leather art, pencils and fiber.
At the core of each of her art pieces, you will find concepts of “BE-ing”, achieving, innovating and triumph. Her art is practice for innovation. If she can imagine it, she can do it, and through her art she wants to teach everyone else to think and succeed the same way.
Sculpture Enhancement using TinyML - Say Boo!
Sculptures, like most things in life have a beginning, a middle and an end. A sculpture named Flow-ery Bull initially represented the productive state called "flow". It was welded during a week-long "flow state" where pieces were cut with a plasma cutter and assembled into flowers that ultimately yielded a bull. It was displayed in a public art venue, then was unfortunately vandalized by teenagers. That made me mad, so I literally buried it in the back of my garden for three years.. During that time, I thought about whether to re-imagine it and make it better than ever or just let it rust away for a future archeologist to find and wonder about. I've always wanted to blend my love of technology with my passion for art - and had never taken that next step to do it. Until now.
I discovered Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) in June. I decided to dig up the sculpture, and then re-imagine both the sculpture and my career next steps simultaneously, so that I can surf another wave of technology. A secret feature in my hollow sculptures is a little guy named "Boo" who will be attached to a Halloween Candy Dispenser and put back into the bull.
The interactive capability is built using TinyML and the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense and robot parts. This talk will show you the physical sculpture reconstruction, the technology, and what I intend to do next with this new knowledge in my career and life.
