Daytime Zombie Simulator is an interactive Arduino installation that stages a tiny “ecosystem” between two nodes, A and B. A photoresistor on A stands in for daylight and drives a servo-powered “zombie arm.” As the arm moves toward B, an ultrasonic sensor on B detects proximity and triggers a light response. That light is sent back as feedback to A, which halts the arm; when the light ceases and “daylight” returns, the behavior cycles again.

The piece playfully models bio-inspired sensing and feedback—light sensitivity, approach/avoidance, and simple signaling—using low-cost components (photoresistor, servo, ultrasonic sensor) to demonstrate a closed, bidirectional loop.
