*Camerin Obscura* is a hand made Camera Obscura - an ancient tool for visualization - that integrates a basic artificial vision system and a sound server looking for an unusual experience integrating image, audio and computation. From a cultural point of view the project is an attempt to explore the Do It Yourself roots as an important characteristic of American culture.
On the optical part the camera obscura has a plane convex lens, a (brighter) mirror and a fresnel lens which receive the final projection.
On the computational part -hardware- the project runs in a mac mini with a firewire video camera and sound speakers. The project works with Processing which reads the visual information -video real time- and SuperCollider server which translates some parameters from Processing into sound.
