"All art is dependent on technology because it's a human endeavour, so even when you're using charcoal on a wall or designed the proscenium arch, that's technology." - George Lucas
"Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees." ~ Marcel Proust
“There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.” – Helen Frankenthaler
The theme this month is Electronic Art and it comes from an idea from fmilburn . Its an idea that is inspired by all the great projects that you submitted in the PiCasso Design Challenge as well as a lecture on freeform circuitry he was fortunate to attend by Mohit Bhoite (embedded below). This challenge invites you to use free form circuitry to create circuit sculptures that interact with your surroundings. Or use a board of your choice such as a Raspberry Pi, an Arduino, or a micro:bit to create something beautiful. fmilburn has already created a couple of projects that are great examples of electronic art. There is the Screaming LM386: An Audio Amplifier with PCB Art project that he produced for the Acoustics challenge and Rosie Learns to Solder which he did in honor of the badass women engineers video talent contest from element14 presents. He also participated in the PiCasso challenge where he produced PiCasso Adapting Art to Viewers. Some other examples of great projects from the PiCasso challenge that also fit this theme include Art-a-Tronic by balearicdynamics , PiMassive by gam3t3ch , Hologram Pi-ramid by luislabmo, Colorful Rotating Chinese Lantern by wesee, POV Globe by dwinhold , 9 Pieces of Pi by jc2048 , and Kinetic Art Mobile by genebren .
Your project can involve freeform circuitry, "dead-bug" style circuitry, circuit sculptures, flywiring, PCB art, interactive hanging installations, camera vision, interactive wall art, room lighting control, sound and effects, and anything that pushes the boundaries of creativity to make something beautiful that adds aesthetic value to your surroundings. Freeform circuitry which goes under many names is a technique that's been around for awhile. Mohit Bhoite, whose lecture on freeform circuitry is the inspiration for this contest, is a senior hardware engineer Particle and an electronics sculptor by night. You can view his lecture here:
You can also take any board you choose and create something you can hang on your wall:
Teach and inspire others:
Use Sound and Inspiration from priceless works of art:
Or it can involve freeform circuitry and electronic sculptures:
