Technology as a Metaphor
February 14, 2010 4:00 AM
I'm a big fan of Art items that use technology as decoration. I found this wonderful album cover, and I was wondering if anyone knows of anything of that sort.
It can be anything that uses Electronics, Technology or Telecommunication as a metaphor, decoration or usable out of context.
Thank you!
All Wikimedia's Tinguely related pictures here. (It actually includes a few that aren't fountains.)

The common element you seek seems to be electronic schematic diagrams.
I know I've seen some artworks including schematics before; I'll send you some links via MeFi mail as I come across them.
Also, my wife has done a few pieces incorporating schematics and components. When she shoots her portfolio I'll send you some of those pics too.

"Love and Robots" is a big puppet-rock-opera thing I just found out about. I'm not sure whether it fits your definition or not, but the poster art is kind of interesting (I don't know whether it's original). I like the second image on that page more than the first one, I think.

There's a lot of schematics used as decorative tattoos.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but the Etsy category Geekery has a lot of sellers that have taken computer and electronic parts and made lots of fun things: jewelry, clocks, pens, and all kinds of fun stuff.
