Living Art – Blue Flowers
For this week’s Living Art assignment I created two flowers out of circuit boards, wire, resistors and LEDs. Here are the pictures.
I’ve long been interested in creating organic forms and experiences with technology. Creating these flowers is an experiment in trying to create circuits that connect with us based on our heritage as creatures in the real world. In part it’s an effort at technological design in harmony with the natural world and processes.
For some of my inspiration, see Lily Pond by Jeremy Lutes.
I used the “laser printer + clothes iron” circuit board fabrication technique from Thomas Gootee. It works!
