In my life, I am involved in creativity, artistic research, curating, writing, and playing music; however, for several years now, I have been interested in programming—from Arduino to web development.
About me / experience in fine arts
artworks related to coding / Arduino / Raspberry pi:

May 30–June 27, 2025 VDA FAMM graduates' exhibition "#FAMM.BA.2025 / Pernaša" at the Atletika and Entity galleries and the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
Python, real-time data, MQTT cloud, code with AI support
Modular synthesis (VCV Rack program)
1st portable devices version:
SIM800L module with antenna, capacitor, Arduino Nano, piezo element, external battery
2nd portable devices version: ESP, piezo element, external battery, phone with mobile data
(First photo by Laurynas Skeisgiela)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 portable devices version:
The piezo element receives wind strength (in volts?). The data is transmitted via cable to Arduino Nano. Arduino transmits the data to the SIM800L module. The data is transmitted every second.
SIM800L attempts to register with the network each time it is turned on. Once successful, it receives messages from Arduino Nano and sends them to the specified number.
The receiver receives messages every second via the SIM800L module. Arduino Nano decrypts them and transmits them to the computer. The computer transmits the number via loopMIDI to the VCV Rack program.
2 portable devices version:
The piezo element receives wind strength (in volts?). The data is transmitted via cable to ESP.
ESP connects to the Internet (hotspot from mobile phone data). ESP transmits data to the Hive MQTT cloud every second.
The receiver receives messages every second thanks to python code. The computer transmits the number via loopMIDI to the VCV Rack program.

Python, API data, code with AI support, Raspberry Pi, DC motor, compass, magnets

---------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
A compass that responds to real-time wind direction data from eismoinfo.lt.
Raspberry Pi checks every minute to see if there is any new data on eismoinfo.lt. When new data appears, it takes the wind direction data from eismoinfo and converts it into degrees. It then transmits it to a magnet on the axis. The axis is set to zero degrees and then rotated in the desired direction.
The process runs 24/7 during the exhibition.
