Electronic ArtFunctional electronic devices built to your specifications (within reason). I specialize in re-using equipment that has been thrown away for my cases and power supplies. Though standard rack-sized equipment (19-inch width to edge of mounting flanges, 17-inch body width) is the easiest size to obtain, I have and will attempt any size that is desired or seems appropriate. My designs are normally hard-wired. $500 and up. I will not generally charge for feasibility consultations.

Start moving your personal electronics off the grid. Click here Is this really art?I was noticing one day how poorly I do at planning and documenting my electronics projects. Then I realized that it wasn't really "poor" planning and documentation. I just wasn't doing it "engineering" style. I was working on my projects the way I used to work on my art. I'd get an idea, sketch it out, figure out what materials I neeeded to build the idea, get them and start on it. Because electronics is very sensitive to details like which wire attaches where, I would have to take notes to keep track of these things. But they were usually pretty sketchy. And if I got to a point where I was missing something because my original idea hadn't worked out exactly the way I expected, I'd just look around the place and see if I could find something laying around that I could use to fix the problem. Not exactly a rigorously analytical approach, where every step is carefully planned out and simulated beforehand. So I decided to call my projects "art." Since most of my projects are about detecting or altering the environment in terms of light, color, or sound, there is some small justification in calling them "art" regardless of how I make them. Meaningful or malaprop: I leave you to decide. What are you talking about? Some definitions:
