EXHIBIT "A" INTERACTIVE PUBLIC ART PROJECT
Project description
Our proposal for the Boynton Beach town square plaza is an interactive sculpture entitled, Synesthesia.
(Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory pathway leads to automatic,
involuntary experiences in a second sensory pathway.)
The sculpture consists of eight 10 foot tall vertical stainless steel tubes arranged in a 20 foot diameter circular
array (see diagram in addendum). The tubes are 10"in diameter, mirror polished and reflective, and each
topped with an LED ring of light that is automatically activated after sundown. This smart sculpture is fully
programmable allowing the lights to change colors and be sequenced. In the same way that The Empire State
Building is lit to commemorate various holidays so too can synesthesia be tailored to reflect special days such
as red, white, and blue for national holidays, white for Christmas, and green for St. Patty's Day, and so on. This
type of complex sequencing will require a software upgrade. With the modulated colored lights, people's
experiences with the sculpture will be different every time. The LED lighting brings the sculpture alive in the
evenings and gives the sculpture an illuminated and memorable sense of place after dark.
Another unique aspect of the sculpture are the sounds generated by the tubes.Activated by proximity sensors,
the tubes emit sound when someone approaches-they react to external stimuli. In this way, viewers become
part of the art and bring it to life. Concealed inside each tube is a programmable electronic sound generating
device that creates the intriguing, gentle sounds of rain, ocean waves, night insects, flowing water,wind, etc.
The sound generating device residing inside each tube consists of a microcontroller subsystem with audio
output capabilities, also equipped with several gigabytes of storage space to save and manage many different
sound profiles. The microcontroller audio output feeds an audio amplifier which in turn drives a waterproof
speaker located in each tube. Synesthesia uses complex technology to combine art and science for the benefit
of the human experience.
The public will interact with Synesthesia on several different sensory levels. Visually,
people are drawn to the sculpture because of its clean, bold design. It is reminiscent of a modern Stonehenge,
or the pillars of classic Greek architecture. Similar to what is perhaps the most successful public sculpture in
the world, the Bean in Chicago,who's reflective surface attracts millions of visitors a year, Synesthesia's
mirror-polished surfaces will reflect a surreal image of the surroundings, including the faces of spectators.The
selfies will be awesome!
The sound the tubes produce will entice people on a whole new level.As visitors come close to the tubes to
see their faces, the tubes emit a soothing hypnotic sound. This sound element encourages people to walk from
one tube to the next to listen to the variation in tones, encouraging further physical interactivity with the
installation.
Page 8 of 21
Functionality - How it works
The internal electronics for each tube are duplicates of one another, making it a truly modular design. What
allows each tube to act differently, such as emitting a different sound, are the settings in the program
application running on the microcontroller(microcomputer) in each tube. For each tube,the same application
with different settings executes on a microcontroller system board. This system board takes inputs from the
outside world (proximity and light level sensors) and uses them to sequence sounds and the glowing tube tops.
Depending upon the setting in each microcontroller, the LED array on the top of the tube will glow and the
audio sound profile driving the speaker system will begin.
Since each tube operates in a similar manner, the configuration settings of each tube is what make it behave
differently. Each time an individual approaches a tube, the proximity sensors detect the approaching person
and uses this, along with the ambient light level sensor, to alert the microcontroller. The application running on
the microcontroller for that tube will then determine what sound and light actions to perform based upon the
following:
1. The configuration settings for that particular tube,
2. Is it daylight or night level lighting,
3. What time of the day or time of night it is,
4. What day of the week or day of year it is.
The programmability of the microcontroller is key to allowing many different possibilities. Here is an example:
• During the morning hours after sunup a person approaches tube A, and triggers a bird to start singing
for a short period out of tube A. As they then walk towards tube B, out of tube B a cat starts meowing,
and so on for each tube; a different sound would emanate from each of the 8 tubes.
• After the sun goes down the top of all of the tubes will start glowing, and then as a person approaches
tube A, the sound of crickets start up for a period, and then on to tube B the person hears ocean waves.
• The next day, for these same tubes, a completely new set of sounds could be emanating.This makes it
such that a person that regularly passes by the Synesthesia each day would not know what new
sounds to expect and thereby keeping the interest and interaction level high even with regular visitors.
• Continuing this example, at midday noon, all of the tubes could be programmed to sound a cuckoo bird
like sound, and then, say at midnight, the top of the tubes could pulseate on an off for a minute.

Keep in mind that all of the electronics are built into a single module, and the module is potted in waterproof
material, therefore if the electronics modules malfunction, replacing them is the only remedy. They will be de-
signed for a minimum of 10 year lifespan, but delivered are 2 spare electronics modules.

Hooking up the external interfaces into the entire system are as follows:
1. Each tube requires 120VAC power of no more than 0.2 Amps (25 watts) (Total 1.6 Amps).
2. Each tube requires a RJ45 network connection running to a ethernet router.
3. To maintain the proper time of day and day of the year, the ethernet router must be connected to
the WWW. (This network connection to the web also allows for future sound, lighting and se-
quencing software upgrades).

Synesthesia will be constructed from 316 Stainless steel which is 18/8 (18% chromium and 8% nickel). This
marine grade stainless steel that an outdoor longevity of 100 years or longer because of stainless steels
corrosion resistance, durability and low maintenance. It is the ideal material for public sculpture.
The safety and well-being of visitors is the fundamental priority when designing public sculpture. To ensure the
highest level of safety, all construction will be secure and permanent with no sharp edges or loose parts.
The sculpture will be fabricated using precise technology and sound fabrication methods. It will be incredibly
strong, durable, weatherproof, and safe for human interaction.
The electronic components will be encapsulated in an electronic waterproof coating with heat dissipation
thermal fins inside the top of each tube. The electronics will be designed for high temperatures and mitigated
with chimney effect airflow inside the tubes. Small slits near the top and bottom of the tubes allow natural
convection airflow help with thermal management, by allowing the air to travel from the bottom up through the
top passing over the thermal heat sink fins during hot days. The electronics will be designed to last ten years
with daily use, and two spare electronic units will be delivered for easy replacement of an electronic tube-top
should any of the units malfunction.
The only direct exposure to the elements of non-stainless steel parts are the edges of the acrylic disc on the
top of the tube. This acrylic chosen will be rated for long term exposure with minimal degradation for 10 years
and topped with a protective stainless steel disc.

Maintenance
For the external surfaces of the stainless steel tubes, they require virtually no maintenance.
For the top stainless steel cap, birds may rest and deposit droppings, and this may require periodic cleaning.
For the electronics, since they are sealed in a waterproof potting material, there is no physical maintenance.
However, if there is a failure in a module, the entire module is swapped out for a spare module.
For software upgrades, because each tube electronics module is connected to the network, software upgrades
can be performed remotely.An example of a software upgrade would be flashing or walking light shows from
one tube to the next choreographed with various music or other complex sound sequencings between tubes.
Philosophy and Process
I believe that public art should compliment and focus interest on the site. Effective public art will make the
viewer's experience memorable, and create a lasting bond that ties that engagement to the artwork and its
environment.
My process for conceptualizing and producing public work is rooted in the desire to establish an iconic image
that represents and reflects the values of the local community. The underlying tenets guiding my work are a
solid work ethic and artistic integrity, which combine to create enduring works of art.

Budget Disbursement Request Public Input at Kinetic Art Event
We are requesting an initial disbursement of funds from the Town Hall Plaza interactive sculpture project
budget, (please see full proposal Exhibit"A"), to be used for fabrication of the first tube for exhibit and testing at
The International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium in Boynton Beach, FL, on February 1 -3, 2019.
This exhibit Is a wonderful opportunity for us to test the functionality of a single tube of the sculpture with a live
audience at the event. It will also give us the chance to gather ideas for the types of sounds to be used in the
final sculpture and collect feedback about the interactivity from visitors.
In order to accomplish this in time for the exhibit we ask for roughly 20% of the initial project budget, as well as
additional costs related specifically to the symposium exhibition.
1/8 of electronic component budget $1,250
80% of electrical engineers fee. (To design and build one prototype is
the majority of the engineering work.) $8,000
1/8 of artist fee $2,500
Total from dedicated project budget $11,750
Additional costs outside of original budget for kinetic symposium
One (1)Steel tube, polished, 8'x 10" diam. $1,500
4'diam 9 gauge steel circle for exhibition base $ 625
Machining of tube(Electronics attachment, vents) $ 575
Transport of sculpture to and from exhibit $ 800
Total contingency costs $4,925
Total funds requested at this time $16,675
