Project Description

The project is an interactive, Islamic, light-based sculpture or installation inspired by Imam al-Shafi’i destrict architecture. at first, the project was inspired by the Lixie Clock concept but reimagined to showcase intricate Islamic art patterns. Drawing from the rich architectural heritage of the Imam al-Shafi’i area, the installation features a dynamic display of geometric and arabesque designs brought to life through motion and light.

The system employs interactive parallax acrylic sheets layered to create a three-dimensional visual effect. These sheets are illuminated by two 8×8 WS2812B RGB LED matrices, programmed to cycle through eight different pattern sequences. The layered effect, combined with controlled lighting, simulates a frame-by-frame animation, evoking the rhythmic beauty of Islamic patterns in motion.

Key Features:

Ordinary Mode: A default mode where pre-programmed sequences of Islamic patterns illuminate in a rhythmic, artistic display.

Bluetooth-Controlled Mode: Activates a Bluetooth module, allowing real-time control of the LED display via a mobile phone.

Music Visualizer Mode: Engages a microphone sensor that enables the LED patterns to react dynamically to sound, transforming the installation into an audio-responsive artwork.

Control System:

- A 5V/5A power supply ensures stable operation.
- Slide switches allow seamless toggling between modes. When a specific mode is activated, it automatically disables the others to ensure smooth transitions.

Concept & Impact:

This project bridges the gap between heritage and technology, merging Islamic architectural aesthetics with modern interactive media. By incorporating layered acrylic designs, dynamic lighting, and programmable interactivity, the installation invites viewers to experience traditional Islamic art in a contemporary, immersive form.

The integration of Bluetooth control and music visualization enhances user engagement, making the project adaptable for various exhibitions, heritage spaces, and digital art showcases.
