PCBs used for art project by Moritz Waldemeyer

PCB Train are supplying 250 printed circuit boards to the designer Moritz Waldemeyer for use in his latest project. The hotel, Metropolitan by COMO, have asked the internationally renowned artist to take part in a charity project for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice.

Waldemeyer is using etched metal for the mechanical components and PCB’s to create the structure which will have white LEDs on the outside and blue on the inside. The egg will be made from 4 spirals that will be connected to GND and +12V. Waldemeyer used advanced parametric 3D design to create the shape, which is both sculpture and electronic circuit at the same time; this innovative approach is believed to have never been done before. The artist used etched metal for the mechanical components as well as PCB’s to create the structure that is displayed in the COMO Hotel London lobby throughout April 2014.

The egg will be on display in the COMO hotel lobby from the 1st of April to the 30th, where the general public will have the opportunity to view the finished pieces.  All 8 pieces will be auctioned off to raise money for the Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice; this will take place on the 30th April at 6.30pm in the hotel’s Met Bar. To be added onto the events guest list, contact Jessica.harris@comohotels.com.
