Artometry Exploring the Intersection of Art, Science & Technology

Electronicos Fantasticos!

A Japanese project led by artist Ei Wada that rebuilds retired household appliances into electronic instruments and plays them as an ensemble. CRT televisions, electric fans and barcode readers become instruments, built with participants in several cities and performed at concerts and festival-style events — an inspiring way of turning everyday machinery directly into material for expression.
