water pumping modules through a scotch yoke mechanism

Water pumping modules are made through Scotch yoke mechanism which converts the rotational motion of DC motor to linear motion for pumping. They are basically an assembly of 3D printed and laser cut parts and used for the Installation project "Anima" .

The "Anima" simulates my recorded heartbeats with glasses of water using pumping modules. A series of recorded heartbeats are allocated to 6 modules and are played back in loops by a microcontroller.

The word "animation" is derived from the Latin word anima, which means life, soul, or breath. Animation originally means "action of imparting life". This project is giving my breath to a non-organic substance through a computer, that is to say, to curse ( hack ) the objects in a digital way. This is a primitive instrument, which merely pushes and pulls water in a binary manner. Also, the object which makes reference to my life log is possessed by my anima, in other words: it is my physical avatar.

The way in which we preserve ourselves could be more complex in the future, like a digital clone, with whom you could exist in a virtual world forever, or even embedding DNA information into a tree. This implies the appearance of a new type of Animism. You can exist, even if your body does not. This might sound more primitive or even religious than current prevailing religions.
