Final project

"Today, the object is not longer "functional" in the traditional meaning of the word; it no longer serves you, it tests you." -Jean Baudrillard

my final project is a manifestation of constant questioning of reality and purpose. i wanted it to resemble the void in which we fear and have it call you out and ask you the questions to make you think and torture you. but i also have it resemble a human head or even more ambiguously a brain to resemble the fact that, at least for, the brain is generating these questions, i am generating these questions and torturing myself, which is also represented in the fact that i made this project as a continuous cycle of questioning and darkness, also represented in the fact that the text repeats itself. however i am sick of making dark projects and so i decided to added a ray of light into the code that isn't seen in the actual piece besides just a blank LCD screen for a brief period of time. but during that time in the code i decided to create the representation of a soul shouting out comforts as a sort of way for me to move on from making these pieces and also to take control over myself and not let fear of the unknown run me into the ground.

code:

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd (0,1,8,9,10,11);



void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
lcd.begin (16,2);
lcd.clear();

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
lcd.print("who are you?");
delay (3000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("human?");
delay (1500);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("god?");
delay (1500);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("animal?");

delay (3000);

lcd.clear();
lcd.print("is it");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("wrong to ask?");

delay(3000);
lcd.clear();

lcd.print("go to hell");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("for thinking");
delay(3000);

lcd.clear();
lcd.print("i still exist");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("i am here");
lcd.clear();
delay(3000);
lcd.print("become nothing");
delay(3000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("my soul is ok");
lcd.clear();
delay(3000);
}
