ArtWire™: Where Art Meets Data

We don’t just rewire buildings; we reimagine them. One of our custom creations, the ArtWire™ circuit board, dances at the intersection of aesthetics and functionality. Let’s delve into this example.

The Backstory #

Imagine a private collector’s art gallery — a sanctuary of masterpieces. Among the oil paintings and marble sculptures, a single light illuminates a priceless canvas. However, the collector’s security detail needed it to also transport data for a nearby camera where new wiring couldn’t be run. Now, it’s not just about illumination; it’s about connectivity.

Challenges Solved #

  1. Data Transmission

    • Whispers in the Wire: IP data tiptoes alongside the light current.

    • Custom Encoding: Our circuit board encodes video frames into pulses, hiding them within the DC waveform. The light shines, unaware of its dual role.

    • Noise Suppression: The gallery hums with life, including it’s other electronics. Our board filters out noise, ensuring that the video arrives pixel-perfect at its destination.

  2. Architectural Integration

    • Subtle Intrusion: The ArtWire™ board nestles within the light fixture. No bulky enclosures; just artful invisibility.

    • Heat Management: LEDs emit warmth; data chips simmer. Our board waltzes with thermodynamics. Copper pours dissipate heat, preserving both luminescence and data fidelity.

The ArtWire™ Symphony #

At the simplist level, the video signal path includes:

  • Entrance: The video signal pirouettes into the board via a coaxial connector. It’s jittery, raw, waiting for transformation.

  • Choreography: Our custom FPGA code orchestrates the dance. It decodes, encodes, and adds the data to the electrical wire.

  • Exit: The light’s junction box has a complentary ArtWire decoder board that separates the video data from the light’s current, and transforms the video to integrate to the owner’s IP camera system.

Cost-Effective Elegance #

ArtWire™ isn’t just for private museums; we can build similar solutions for your historic home, your boutique hotel, your cherished library. We honor budgets, weaving brilliance without extravagance.
