Meteorite is a DIY prototype designed for exploring the possibilities of networks and IoT applications within sound, music, and new media art practices.
The prototype is based around the ESP8266, an inexpensive SoC (Systen-on-a-Chip) with built-in WiFi which costs about the price of a coffee and can be programmed through the friendly Arduino environment. By collecting codes, schematics and well-documented examples, the goal is to design a device which can be used by artists, students and makers to develop their creations.
During PIFcamp, Stefano will focus on refining the user interface and experimenting with applications involving sensors and environmental data. The project’s outcomes will also contribute to his Master’s degree.
