The Eluztres eye: a blue iris with a glowing chip for a pupil, in a star of wood and neon, with an electric cable throwing sparks.

I make art with code, circuits and light.

Code by day.Light by night.

I'm Jose, a software engineer and artist in Fuerteventura. I write the code, design the circuit boards and build the light by hand.

Light

Light you can feel

One-of-a-kind lamps, made by hand in Fuerteventura from resin and wood. Made to order and for installations.

Circuits

I design my own boards

From the idea to the schematic, from the schematic to the finished board. This one controls the light in every lamp.

78 LEDs, one button.

Click for the next mode. Hold, or use the arrow keys, to dim.

Code

I write what moves the light

This is the plasma mode from my own firmware, running on the board above. By day I also build websites and apps.

oceanLight.cpp
#define NUM_LEDS 78
#define UPDATES_PER_SECOND 90
#define SW 2 // PD2 = BUTTON (J1)

CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];
OneButton button(SW, true);

void plasma()
{
    int thisPhase = beatsin8(6, -64, 64);
    int thatPhase = beatsin8(7, -64, 64);

    for (int k = 0; k < NUM_LEDS; k++)
    {
        int colorIndex = cubicwave8((k * 23) + thisPhase) / 2
                       + cos8((k * 15) + thatPhase) / 2;
        int thisBright = qsuba(colorIndex, beatsin8(7, 0, 96));

        leds[k] = ColorFromPalette(currentPalette, colorIndex, thisBright);
    }
}

In progress

A lamp that follows the tide

Official tide data for Fuerteventura through 2040. The light rises and falls with the sea.

Preview: 60 LEDs, one tide in 20 seconds.
