hi ! for the moment not really, there are elements borrowed from electronics and binary in some of my engravings but nothing around computing as such. It’s actually an idea worth exploring. Honestly, I’ve kind of missed the boat of my generation because I’m very bad at computers and I keep to it at a relative distance, but I could still consider something around that in the future. the code and electronic aspect often has a glyphic aspect for beginners, it can be graphically interesting
Even if you don’t go down the programming angle, your style seems ripe to incorporate things like PCB traced/layout. In the olden days, layouts were done by hand and some had a bit of artistic flare and were generally single layer with jumpers to hop over other traces as necessary. Something from the 80s through the early aughts will have a lot more straight lines, but there’s still a lot of interesting geometry. Multi-layer PCBs were becoming more prevalent, but most limited to two. Modern designs are very dense and often span way more than 2 layers, but if you were to find the right thing (PCB antennas maybe?) it could make for something interesting.

thank you, yes this is the aspect of computing that you were talking about. It’s really interesting visually. and indeed it would very much appreciate an engraving around electronics and computing. I just saw images of hand-drawn maps in the 70s, the absence of straight lines gives an almost organic effect. it contrasts with recent printed circuits. I’ll keep that in mind for the future !

Im a computer scientist. I work on compilers. There are lots of graphical representations in compilation that would look so cool in your art style.
This might interest me, do you have a link to a site or document where I can see what it looks like?
Here’s some of stuff I eyeball in my line of work:
And then source code itself can be beautiful.
If you are serious about this, we could work through some concepts.
Cheers!
