Ben Hollis and Eva Funderburgh chose an unusual material to house their Arduino in: clay. Glowback, the little creature they’ve created, has nodules on its back made of transluscent porcelain. The porcelain gives off a soft glow in staggered rhythms provided by the super bright LEDs underneath the nodules.
With physical computing being used more and more in fine arts, it’s exciting to see a project such as this one. See Ben Hollis’ site for full documentation.

someone should work on conductive clay that can be fired. Eliminate the wire and integrate the circuit wiring in the porcelain.
Is it just me, or does this look like a tongue covered with pustules?
