Seek (in progress) Interactive Fluorescein Installation

This month, I received the shipments for many of the electromechanical and optical components of the piece. I was particularly thrilled that the
waterproof strand of 250 UV lights were segment-able, allowing for a much easier install. Among the great news is that each of the component lights operates at 6-12V which makes a fully Arduino-controlled installation feasible. :)

So, current status.
Lights have been constructed
. (64 lights) Photo to be posted soon.
Decided to use a Max/MSP to Arduino firmware for easy interfacing and control of lights for prototyping.
Tested infrared and pressure sensors. (Work great!!!)
Developed a MAX external that will allow me to program animation frames given triggers (sensors)

What remains:
Construct light array. Decide on animations. Program sequences to triggers.
