This bare printed circuit board has become a popular
artwork. Partly, I suspect, because of its $100 price. The initial edition
was twenty boards but I have not declared an edition size. So, when
I sell out the first edition, I will make another twenty. Another
factor in its popularity is that although it looks great in a frame, doesn't
need one since it comes ready to hang from its own chain.
Post-Sept. 11, 2001 note:
"The open circuit is this society and the closed circuit is the world
of religious fanatics: Islamic fundamentalists or groups like Aum Shinrikyo.
I think they are
all the same in a way. Their worlds are perfect, because they are closed
off."
Haruki Murakami, in "A Japanese Writer Analyzes Terrorists and Their
Victims,"
