PUROS CIRCUITOS
COLLECTION EXHIBITED AT ZⓢONA MACO 2024
This collection introduces electronic objects that blend functionality with the natural beauty of their circuits. Each piece, elegantly crafted on a phenolic board, foregoes traditional casings, allowing the intricate designs of the circuits to shine through. Optimized for efficient production, these items embody the graceful intersection of technology and aesthetics, where electronic circuits themselves become the focal point of beauty.
T-23
Jimena Acosta, María Fernanda Arellano
It is an exploration of the convergence between two opposing forces, and represents a meeting point between technology and esotericism.
‘T-23’ is a printed circuit, inspired by tarot and that provides a combination of messages related to fortune or words of wisdom. The intention of the piece is to encourage dynamism within our interactions and entertain; an atypical fusion that seeks to start a dialogue.
LEAVE NOTES
Balkis González, Giovanna Vega
It is a template made up of three printed circuit boards, which is inspired by mailboxes, postcard stamps and those unexpected messages that, without a doubt, surprise us.
The intention of the piece encourages us to create connections with our loved ones through ephemeral voice messages, where the possibility of playing with words and expressing phrases is infinite.
What gives life to the piece is a microcontroller that works as a voice recorder, a microphone, a button to record, another to play the message and a speaker.
AURORA
Isabella Rincón, Daniela Tinoco
It is a luminaire composed of two printed circuit boards that is in tune with the golden ratio and represents the passage of time with subtlety, contemplation and poetry.
By making a gesture up, down, left or right, you can change the colors of the light patterns and thus witness a kind of northern lights. Through its minimalist design, the user can perceive the passage of time without necessarily being told a precise time.
LUMINARY STARLIGHT
Irlanda Chávez, Fernando Ayala
It is a visual timer formed by the union of two printed circuit boards, inspired by the stars and constellations of star charts, as they used to be used as a reference for maritime navigation.
The purpose of the piece is to create an impeccable and poetic flow of time, in order to guide our concentration; In addition, it makes it versatile and adaptable, generating a visual language through a motion interface using LEDs that synchronize the passage of time with the stars in a harmonious way. The user has the option to select different times or cancel them according to their preferences and needs.
O-22
Jimena Acosta, María Fernanda Arellano
It is an exploration of the convergence between two opposing forces, and it represents a meeting point between technology and esotericism.
‘O-22’ is a printed circuit, inspired by the Ouija board and that provides an answer to any dichotomous question, that is, one that can be answered with a yes or a no. The intention of the piece is to encourage dynamism within our interactions and entertain; an atypical fusion that seeks to start a dialogue.
