	Theorore Johnson's Projects An interesting range of unique clocks using unusual display technologies from nixie tubes to spinning LEDs.
	Westdave's Wild World of Clocks David Weiner, master electronic clock maker, creates original, handmade clocks housed in a variety of cases from antique to ultramodern. These mostly one-of-a-kind horological offerings feature digital displays, some of them made of vintage nixie tubes. His amazing, amusing masterpieces are functional, kinetic, time telling works of art.
	Nixie Clock Gallery A great collection of hand made nixie clocks of all types and sizes from wearable to full wood cabinets.
	Remo Campopiano "A visual artist exploring new technologies in the world of science and telecommunications."
	Art & Artists using Robotics Technology Great resources and links to other robotic artists.
	Telepresent Surveillance - Joel Slayton This is an installation piece that I helped engineer for Joel in 1995. I designed autonomous video surveillance drones with balloon supported video cameras that transmitted their images of the site directly to the web in real time.
	Matt Gorbet My favorite is his "Hand Cranked-Digital" from 1998. Mis MIT media lab experience shows in the quality of his works which are conceptually diverse.
	Survival Research Laboratories Ultra violent killer robotic performances on a grand scale!
	ROBOT WARS This is the site for the TV series of mega mechanical mayhem. See the show on TechTV cable channel (in the US)
	Light sculptures of Neon, Krypton and glass created by world-renowned artist Candice Gawne.
	Ken Rinaldo Interactive robotic arms - made of grape vine! Visually poetic works. His interdisciplinary media art installations look to the intersection between natural and technological systems
	Amy Youngs Amy uses electronics, kinetics, sound, insects, plants and pixels to create art about the complex relationship between technology and our changing concepts of nature and self.

ART ORGANIZATIONS
