Open Circuits
is a photographic exploration of the beautiful design inside everyday
electronics. Its stunning cross-section photography unlocks a hidden
world full of elegance, subtle complexity, and wonder.
Our
phones, computers, and appliances are made of hundreds of internal
components, each precisely engineered to perform a certain function, but
none intended to actually be seen. Through painstakingly executed,
vividly detailed cross-section photography, Open Circuits reveals the surprising—and often accidental—beauty hiding inside the electronic components that drive our everyday devices.
From
resistors to LEDs, USB cables to headphone jacks, stepper motors to
nixie tubes, the book’s arresting imagery transforms more than 130
components into delightful works of art. As you visually dissect the
components’ insides, you’ll learn about how they work and how they were
made. Open Circuits has
something for everyone to appreciate, whether you’re a seasoned
electrical engineer, an amateur tinkerer, or simply a lover of art and
photography.
