You might be able to say this exists, to an extent, through hardware pairing (like the Teenage Engineering products or the Playdate they worked on). The woodblock prints from TFA are nothing without the specially-chosen paper they are imprinted onto as a way of being transported and displayed; perhaps software is the carefully-arranged ink.
- jrmg 3y agoThat’s a good point, there is more hardware like this - though those are more like ‘mass-market’ or ‘commercial’ art than the kind of ‘art and craft fair’ stuff I was thinking of (think custom woodworking, limited-run prints, local photography, local watercolors - even things like pet portraits). In the hardware world, I guess you could also make an argument that stuff like https://nixieshop.com https://nixieshop.com, https://www.vestaboard.com https://www.vestaboard.com, or https://www.traintrackr.io https://www.traintrackr.io is nearing this. I have seen real small-run ‘artisan’ made clocks at local art fairs, which I guess could be MCU based. Maybe I should make some interesting clocks or displays and try getting a stall at the next craft fair nearby...
- detourdog 3y agoI think we maybe thinking along the same lines. I'm setting up a small run manufacturing facility with a few ideas that touch on technology. I think the most important idea is that smaller circuits is not the end all and be all. There is a great opportunity in making larger circuits. I plan to develop larger circuits that are embedded in laminates. The second step is would be a parametric set of appliances that can be ordered from a catalog to suit one's specific needs.
