Tintinnabuli

This is my electronic sculpture with a TinyML person detection function.

The sculpture takes images, analyses them and when it detects a person on them it will activate the simple automata mechanism to ring the bell. The bell rings at a frequency 2578Hz.

The brain is an ESP32-CAM module. The TinyML model is trained with Edge Impulse. Using the COCO dataset. I used PlatformIO for programming.

The motivation to do this came from the desire to learn more about automata and control the real world through programming.

Humans have five senses to interact with the world. And art should use all of them to communicate with the human soul.

It does not record or collect images that it does. And not connected to WiFi.
