Retrospect: The Beautiful Machine
2 years, 6 months ago
The Beautiful Machine - 2005
The Beautiful Machine was both an opportunity to design and etch my own circuit, and a cathartic personal engagement with my love-interest of the time.
The face of said love-interest is etched onto one side of a dual-sided circuitboard, and forms part of the circuit. On the other side is a solid state arrangement to control the segmented LEDs. There are two-modes; “LOVE” and “NONE”. Not particularly difficult to interpret, although it reflected my surprise at how quickly and profoundly changes can happen.
