About the Maker(s)

Scott Gasparian Scott Gasparian
I am an Artist, Inventor and Teacher generally residing in the S.F. Bay Area. My creations are a combination of the latest in microcontroller technology and discarded and recycled objects. Repurposing old sewing machines, printers, broken glass, radios and such is my contribution to reducing global landfilling. Interactivity and synthesasia are favorite themes of mine requiring the visitor to think. Sculptures are available for rent and on comission and in limited edition series.
