During the workshop, my group tried creating a recipe wherein every time someone would use the hashtag #ArtStudent on Instagram, the LED light would flash. As you know, the groups were not able to successfully do this in class, so I took the Photon Particle home and was able to continue trying it out. I was able to get the lamp we made in class work right away, so I used that same lamp to continue working on the IFTTT process. Unfortunately, I was not able to get it to work with my basic circuit lamp. However, I did explore the IFTTT website and was able to experiment with creating internet based recipes. For example, I tried out some recipes that made Facebook posts appear on Instagram or Blogger. I was not previously familiar with the IFTTT website, and had a lot of fun trying out recipes. I think there is great potential for this kind of tool in public artworks, and also the classroom, especially since so much of the high school classroom exists online these days.
