Graduation Thesis: “Bifrost”

Artist Statement - Jason Wong The Bifrost is an installation that applauds the community of gender peace (equality, including but not limited to). Every single element within the installation refers to anyone in the society, pronouns will not be taken into account in this work. By the artificial wave generated, it implies that our world has largely dissolved the dissension against gender and sexual orientation. Praise the harmony!

 We would like to show the difference between LGBT and heterosexuality and show that heterosexuality is accepting and embracing the LGBT group with no discrimination, we would like to show that even you are the LGBT group, you are not wrong and sick, you and heterosexuals are equal. Idea graph: Includes: - 25 servos connected to PCA9685 module and Arduino - 24 plastic models with 1 side in white color and 1 side in rainbow color and white background(representing the heterosexuality respect and accept the LGBT) - 1 plastic model with 2 sided rainbow color(represents the minority LGBT group) Flow: - The servos will flow up and down to show the 2 sides of the plastic models, some animation(transformation sequence) will be done for showing the change between the 2 sides.

  Persecution of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders Refers to the persecution of a person by a government, group, or individual for being or being considered a homosexual, bisexual or transgender person. For the target of the attack, there are attacks on gay men (gay-bashing), attacks on lesbians (dyke-bashing), attacks on transgender people (trans-bashing), attacks on queer people (queer-bashing), or simply attacking (bashing). Hate crimes and hate violence are often referred to in the legal and media circles. Repression can occur at a very young age. In most of today's society, when children show simple gender nonconformity behavior, they will be criticized or unreasonably punished by parents and teachers, which will lead to bullying by their peers. These children are often given the so-called sissies and masculine titles, and sissies are often more severely victimized than masculine women. The oppressive behavior of adults is often the result of their experience of bull...

About LGBT  Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. The initialism, as well as several of its popular forms, has been in use since the 1990s as an umbrella term for sexuality and gender identity. The LBGT group has been severely suppressed. Many people dare not disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity to avoid discrimination, harassment, and attack. They can only be themselves in dark corners. Until the development of progressive ideas in the past few decades, society has become more diverse and open. Their rights and interests are gradually protected only after they are tolerated. Homosexuality refers to sexual preferences, i.e. sexual arousal, sexual fantasies, or the emergence of romantic feelings that only occur in people of the same sex. Whether a person loves a boy or a girl is known to many people in elementary school or before school age, and some homosexuals do as well, but in general, ho...

 The model is designed using the plastic clip to flow the model, and when the servos are moving up and down, different patterns can see. Detail:  Two types:  1) side1: White color, side2: rainbow color pattern(white represents heterosexuality, rainbow color represents LGBT groups, two sides represent the heterosexuality is embracing and accepting the LGBT group) 2)side1: rainbow color side2: rainbow color(rainbow representing the LGBT group)

  Testing the 16 servos moving at the same time caused the power supply problem with the 6V power, therefore by changing the power to 9V, it can move the 16 servos at the same time, but it is easy to overheat and break the board with the large power use.

 Testing with the PCA9685 module to control 16 servos(succeed):
