Anemone

I sent the anemone to get photographed, but it got damaged in transit. I'm going to fix it and get it photographed again. Both sides of the anemone got bent over and it looks weird to me.

This older picture shows how the structure should look.

Here are some videos of the anemone:

The anemone has a compound eye made from photoresistors. I used heat-shrink to hood them, and multiplexed them using a shift register, mosfets and an ADC. With some simple processing, it is able to tell the direction and speed of motion that occurs near by.

The compound eye is similar to previous compound eyes I made for other art pieces and experiments.
