Catenary light animation test

Test of a light animation technique I'm working on using Grasshopper to generate a single toolpath, Processing to deal with the LED coordination, Esperant.0 to control the robot and sync the LED firing, and Kangaroo to provide the simulation.

There is no post processing involved in this animation - it is just a series of long exposure photos.

Comment by Arthur Mamou-Mani on October 10, 2012 at 3:35am: Cool! I get it now, that's amazing. How long is the whole video in reality? Would there be a way with smoke to leave a trace of the light? How can I access Esperant.0 page? Really curious about it now :)

Basically a robot draws each frame of the animation in a series of long exposure photographs.
