beeconductive

6 of my linocut bees printed in bare paint (with block printing retarder) on Japanese kozo paper. Since the black printed areas are electrically conductive, each bee can act as an antenna (pun, not entirely intended) or specifically as one plate of a capacitor in a capacitative sensor. To be able to connect each bee to the electronics behind the piece, I sew through the paper using electrically conductive thread.
