Kansas City native Juniper Tangpuz says he is trying to make sense of the world through the creation of cardboard and paper art. Tangpuz invites observers to interact with his 3D art to explore discovery, time and perspective, according to his website. Paper and cardboard sculptures by Tangpuz have been displayed throughout Kansas City, and Tangpuz often presents to local audiences. Through his art Tangpuz says he hopes to “unfold the imagination in the participant and offer them a unique experience.”
Take a look at this YouTube video compilation of Tangpuz’s work:
But he didn’t let that one project define him, his real passion is electronics, specifically the Arduino, and open-source microcontroller that is desgined to get the non-techie into programming the world. Is uses a kind of copy and paste rpogramming style but if you are a programmer you can take it further. It is a platform that uses what is called a shield, another circuit board that can be sandwiched on top for inscreased functionality. Joey designed a 3 x 3 x 3 LED cube that makes awesome 3d patterns will LED’s that are soldered together into the shape you see to the right. He designed the circuit board, had it fabricated, put together the instructions and sells it as a way to support his Making! Not bad for a 15 year old who never did anything like this before!
