TechCore
A sculptural archive of the hardware, sensors and computing components used across four years of art-and-technology projects.
A sculptural archive of the hardware, sensors and computing components used across four years of art-and-technology projects.
TechCore makes the normally hidden infrastructure of digital artwork visible. Microcontrollers, sensors, cables and computers are presented not as backstage equipment but as material evidence of experimentation and learning. A Raspberry Pi display connects these components to the projects they enabled, turning technical history into a physical self-portrait.

Process and approach
Structural composition
Hardware and cables are arranged on a wooden vessel and white plinth to expose both function and visual form.
Living index
A Raspberry Pi and small monitor cycle through documentation of the works created with the displayed components.
Artist’s statement
TechCore represents the technical heart of four years of artistic exploration. The hardware that powered earlier projects is brought forward as visible material, making the hours of experimentation, learning and building tangible.
Concept and materials
Microcontrollers, sensors, electronic components, cables and computing devices form a sculptural archive of the artist’s education. A wooden vessel and white plinth support the arrangement, while their exposed structure highlights both the functional and aesthetic character of the equipment.
Interactive display
A small monitor connected to a Raspberry Pi cycles through images and videos of projects made with the displayed components. Visitors can connect each physical tool to the artworks it enabled and follow the evolution of the practice.
Exhibition context
Presented on a different floor from the other ArtSense works, TechCore foregrounds technical learning as a distinct part of the wider series. Its placement underlines how artistic growth can be distributed across many media, skills and spaces.
