My first electronics project at the media lab, Da/ve is an amalgam of technologies I wanted to learn about. The starting idea was an image of an insect eye made out of disrete leds. The addition of fiberoptic elements transformed the display surface into a rudimentary visual matrix, which was recorded by camera and analyzed in computer software. At some point in 2001 da/ve was accessible on the internet via a network-enabled microprocessor module I was exploring at the time ;)
