Let’s Etch PCBs!
In 2007 Dan Wilcox (a.k.a) Robotcowboy, invited Oscar to give a talk to the students from the C:Art:Media Master’s program about the different ways of using etching technique in the design of printed circuit boards. The result was two workshops at the studio Brumm and a how-to webpage for the technological artist who wants to make PCBs in the kitchen, ghetto-style!
Why bother making a printed circuit board? Well, if you are planning on replicating a circuit design for a more permanent project, then save yourself the trouble of having to build everything from scratch. Why bother making a printed circuit board if you do not want to make anything with electronics? Etching pcbs can be as much of an artistic tool or method as screen printing, you just using different materials. You can achieve a different aesthetic… that can also be a functional electronic circuit.
