Show me the Force!

Our goal is to create an sculpture/structure that will give participants a direct/interactive visualization of 'bending' force within individual members of a given form. The discrete members of the form will be equipped with colored LED strips intended to give visual feedback from a series of flex sensors placed along the frames that make up the overall physical sculpture. A set of various 'Moment' elbows will allow the system to be built, connected, loaded, shoved, kicked, shaken and rebuilt as desired.
