I need to grow away from these roots
Summary: David Whiting's 2023 art installation, "I Need To Grow Away From These Roots," combines music and light through a custom C++ program on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and an Arduino Uno board. The piece generates random chords and notes, illuminating LED strips in corresponding colors. The LED strips are housed in transparent tubing and sculpted with nickel wire, creating a visually captivating experience. The installation runs headlessly and starts automatically upon powering up.
