Concept

Synaptic Tree is nurtured by the Sun and comes alive at night. The tree sculpture is composed of a steel trunk structure and wooden branches joined by steel components. Each branch is dressed with RGB LEDs on all sides, allowing for some pretty spectacular animated visuals. The original concept envisioned at tree with solar cells as leaves attached to each branch; however, due to schedule constraints the final design allows for solar power charging via a separate solar panel array secured to the ground. The tree operates on 24V DC power, provided by two or four 12-volt 100ah batteries housed within the trunk. The entire structure is designed for water resistance, but its is not designed to operate in wet weather.
