The initial goal was to create DIY solar cells. While the project had not been conceptually developed I had the material constraint of fabricating my own solar cells— in whatever form I pleased— and I wanted to utilize conductive paint in my design.After spending a grand amount of time researching DIY solar cells I found feasible protocols and obtained the materials needed.After days and days of experimenting I was left with a bunch of prototypes none of which work, and a large amount of documentation of the process. Fortunately, the prototypes were aesthetically interesting.Given their tile like appearance, I decided to make them into a mosaic that recalls stepping-stones.The second part of the project was the implementation of conductive paint; in it's implementation I wanted to make a piece that was interactive and that would provide a different experience for each individual who interacted with it.Individuality became the theme of the project, leading into research into fingerprints. After researching fingerprints and biometric sensors, I developed a way to create my own biometric sensor using the conductive paint. The outcome of the research and experimentation was a high-low tech interactive garden ornament.
