David Pescovkov: Solenoid Symphony

Original: Link




Solenoiddddd This maker wired up a slew of solenoids, electro-magnetic switches, so that when they're switched on they tap a variety of disciplines, some of whose important work will be featured in an exhibit at Baltimore's American Visionary Art Museum . The National Geographic Society also published a hardcover book titled Bug Faces ." The images above are from the Oklahoma Microscopic Society . The 10th Anniversary Group show opens tomorrow and it will spank your eyeballs. Featured artists include: Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Femke Hiemstra, Brian Despain, Travis Louie, Scott Musgrove, Lisa Petrucci, Shag, Liz McGrath, Andrew Hem, Glenn Barr, John Brophy, Viktor Safonkin, Anthony Pontius, Tin, Kay Tuttle, Ronald Kurniawan, Chris Crites, Johnny Bergeron, Mia Araujo, Mike Leavitt, Christian Vanminnen, Gabe Marquez, and Lori Earley.
