HW12.2.1 Physical Computing Artist Research: Theo Kamecke

Theo Kamecke is an artist who uses basic circuits in an alternative way.  Kamecke does not actually create functional circuits to power his work, instead he repurposes circuits as a material for his visual art.  Kamecke is interested in the aesthetic patterns within circuits and views them as continuations of patterns found in nature.  After dismantling circuit boards into their basic components, Kamecke rebuilds them like puzzles into patterns resembling hieroglyphics.  Although the works favor beauty over function, they highlight the ubiquity of computing in the modern age while promoting circuits to the level of art.
