  1. "Demoscene" by termos · · Score: 3, Informative

    Interresting about software art, because I tent to look at demos as art. The word is defined here, and it is a mixture between different algorithms, graphics and music. They put it into a program witch renders pictures in real-time.
    For more demos you can look at scene.org or pouet.net.

    Gerard Ferrari does ceramic sculpture with other elements, but it still falls under the title of "ceramic" The works from the links would be of the same, the utilize the medium but not necessarily in it's entirity.

    Beam Robotics guys have been doing this sort of thing for years.

    Ok, it's not the same, but it is robotics as artwork, and their creations actually do something.
