It's a London underground map and a working circuit board.

Having worked in an art museum for a while, I gained an appreciation for artwork I never really knew I had.

One area I really liked was using newer technology in unexpected ways -- not just using Photoshop to make a cool image. A good example, and not totally unrelated to this piece, would be the Something Awful GIF exhibit:

I love seeing people take something that exists now and molding it. Art has always been about this in some form, but now, with the digital age, manipulating the visual (and auditory) senses has become easier.

One thing that really has come from this age is the imperfections in the digital medium: glitches. We now have the Glitch genre of music and art as well.

All of the way art has evolved, and in such a short period, really catches my fancy for some reason or another. I'd love to go to a museum full of just thing kind of stuff.

From a design perspective this actually brings Harry Beck's inspiration for modern 'tube' maps full circle.

The 'electrical schematic concept' revolutionized the way these maps were drawn -

Really cool, though it might be a little dangerous to use as an actual map in the London Underground.

I saw this at the design museum, he also made a denki puzzle radio

This is the most beautiful circuit board I've seen since http://www.esarcasm.com/wp-content/01-geek-tattoos.jpg
