Designer Paul Fryer loves experimenting with electricity. n his latest
piece of electronic art, he visits some older technology that would be
considered ancient to most.
Paul Fryer uses 32 vacuum tubes on a 64-socket board to make the
ultimate chess-playing canvas. The board is amazing to look at as
every piece lights up as its inserted in the socket. Check out this,
