Electronics-themed art or art made with electronics?

[ahofer]

My youngest son is turning 21. He is studying EE/Computer-Engineering at GWU. He expressed interest in electronics-themed art. Any suggestions?

Lots of artists inspired by video games.
Or you just ask neighbors for their old junk electronics, rip out parts, and make a collage.

I consider this guy's work to be art but I'm strange.

...ok. I'll agree. At least it's not, you know, art gallery,...they wouldn't let him in, anyway. He's carryin on another tradition. ...Aside from taking the piss, i mean. I hope his youtube channel works for him... \ I have video ADD, but I got to when he started playing, the organ, just as I was about to stop. I was thinking it was just decoration.

Reminds me of the mighty FLOPPOTRON :

A view more from the arts side, but with a fair bit of technology behind it to make his vision happen. Ciseco aren't around any more - they used to make the XRF radio modules.

Ask him to look up recent installations by Robert Henke.

I'm sorry. I go for the classic computer band members: floppy, printer, hard drive, scanner, and modem.
These bands with 100+ members are just decadent.

that ain't a band anymore, that's an orchestra

How about a Nixie Clock. There are several nice ones and kits. A blast from late fifty's and early sixty's. Almost kinetic as time changes

... or go (almost) exactly the opposite direction with an oscilloscope clock

(this particular one looks to need a little linearity adjustment )

or completely low tech... I've had this notebook since the 90's

Oh Good. I'm not the Only one that's nuts. I'm in good company with this guy.

The 80's. Anything in Neon Really. And the Bleed over to the 2000's

Nice site for this kind of stuff.

Some other cool stuff I found.
Birds don't live long anyways. So. Lead... May not be a problem.

Very BORG like.

I kind of wish they would do more with Glass Circuit boards.

Atuall printed Board.

Like you Mixed Zoolanders Derlickt with Blade Runner with a Touch of Granny Bopp.

Wish they would make some of their Bare Board Amp kits like this.
