Howdy -
Just read an interesting article in the New York Times' Museums special section on how the Arduino is changing the artistic landscape.
I found this quote highlighted how the new wave of easy-to-use DIY electronics is putting artists' visions within reach:
“The Arduino has changed the way we can create and build exhibits,” said Hélène Alonso, director of interactive exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. “In the past, we would have used 50 percent of our budget on computers that have now been replaced with the simplicity of the Arduino.”
Cheers,
