Hadn’t thought of incorporating multimedia techniques! Couching would be a really good way to add real circuitry. Will definitely have to think about that!

I don’t know! I’ll experiment with uploading photos, it might be interesting.

Thank you so much for this (and the offer!). I think I’m going to stick with DALL-E for now as it’s possible to iterate designs much faster (and with less effort) than digital drawing. While I love that you’re willing to draw designs for me (how generous is that???) I will often go through six or seven design ideas in a day, and I can’t imagine anyone else putting up with that. I really appreciate the offer, though.

I LOVE the idea of encoding a simple message in the circuitry design. Alexandra (my wife) can design circuits so I’ll ask her more about it.

Fiber optics works really well – Laurie Carlson-Steger and I collaborated on a piece with fiber optics a while back, nicking the cable where we wanted light to come out. The only problem is that you need to hook up a light engine, which means powering it, which is difficult to do in an exhibit. (Same thing for LEDs.)

I hadn’t known that about EL wire, so thanks for the heads-up. I’ll check out the blog post now.

It would remove concerns about copyright, avoid the AI artifacts like weird ears and nonsensical lines, and allow you to make detailed refinements. Pick a tiger species, set the level of detail, compare sketches, add a grid.

(It’s presumptuous, but I’d love to draw such a thing!)

The computer engineer part of me loves the idea of encoding a simple message or making symbolic choices in the depiction of circuitry. Heck, you could even include a tiny bit of functional magnetic-core memory, like the textile workers who built the Apollo guidance computers. :3

On that note: LEDs are certainly possible, just plan to spend more time than you expect researching your hardware. Fiber optics might be neat. EL wire is still sold but it is Not worth your consideration (this post gives a good breakdown: https://enlighted.com/blog/why-i-don-t-offer-el-wire-anymore)

anyway I love this and I have no chill

It’s a great design and could be very interesting and challenging to produce

It’s addictive. Since time immemorial artists have used inspiration from other sources including other artists, As with all technology, it will go on with or without our approval. Better learn to incorporate it than ignore it.
