Build an Interactive Kinetic Wall

Arijit describes an interactive kinetic wall built by his team that pushes the boundaries of traditional art and engineering and creates a dynamic and immersive experience. Through its responsive movements and visual effects, it engages viewers and invites them to shape the artwork. Powered by the Raspberry Pi 4, the kinetic wall was designed to capture the modern spirit, when art, science, and technology converge and re-invent the perception of beauty and interactivity.

The genesis of our project is an interactive kinetic wall powered by Raspberry Pi shown in Figure 1. It stems from a unique collaboration of my company with an entertainment company seeking an innovative and captivating way to engage and attract audiences to their events.

We explored a variety of possibilities after being given this fascinating task, but we ultimately settled on the idea of an interactive kinetic wall, because of its unique qualities and tremendous interaction potential.

The kinetic art movement of the 20th century served as the inspiration for the idea of kinetic walls, which has a rich historical background. Artworks that moved, altered shape, and responded to outside stimuli were first made possible by kinetic artists like Alexander Calder and Jean Tinguely. A new wave of innovation was inspired by this movement, which signaled a radical departure from conventional static art forms and promoted a dynamic interaction between art and technology.

This project embodies the fusion of art, technology, and entertainment, representing a contemporary interpretation of the historical kinetic art movement.

Power Analysis Over JTAG Ports: Hidden Debug Dangers - Block Side-Channel Analysis Attacks

Small changes in the phase of clock signals can encode power leakages. An attacker can use standard interfaces such as the JTAG port to drive clocks across targets, using them as measurement techniques for sidechannel analysis attacks despite limited physical access. This article demonstrates how you can test devices for vulnerability and how to modify devices to prevent attacks.
