Is this cool or what? Dalibor is up to no good ;-)

Wow.  Thanks for sharing.  Curious to know what letters are in each tube, since they're limited to 10(?)

[jb-electronics]

Yep, only ten each, I counted the wires in a few close-up photos. I am also curious to learn more about this project.

Seeing letters in a nixie (curvy) format is un-nerving in some way...

The artwork is described on the artists main website here it seems : http://dominicharris.com/simulated-2018/

This appears to essentially be a giant n letter word array, but with the letters limited to " S I M U L A T E D O"

Quite odd but certainly impressive, if just for how much money must of been sunk into it.

I would of just stuck at a 10 letter word myself, but maybe Dalibor had a minimum order ;-)

I think the more pressing question should be, could you fit 26 letters in each tube.....;-)

Its a mutilated modem museum

Lovely stuff. There are a lot of tubes involved in the project - if I understand the annotations correctly, there are 12 instances with 60 tubes and 12 with 10 - that's 840 tubes!

Something about the write-up on the website looks a bit strange... It claims that the artist fabricated the tubes - did he really go work in Dalibor's lab for a few months to learn and make them? Or did he just pay Dalibor to do it? In the latter case I think a slightly more accurate description is needed...

You must be new to the art world...
Do you think Damien Hurst picked that shark himself ?

[Jon]

Indeed not! Obviously didn't quite get the sarcasm indicator dial turned up quite high enough in that posting (should've gone with the first draft, which was much more acid :) )

I was struck by the contrast between that write up and this one from a similar project Dalibor did (https://www.frankbuchwald.com/custom/nixie-machine-ii/index_eng.html) - seems much more reasonable.

A while back Dalibor posted somewhere that he could now etch his own cathodes.
So it is possible to order custom nixies with any letter, symbol and number combination you like as long as there is enough space.
I suppose 10 is the maximum.

That's a LOT of tubes not becoming clock tubes ..... :-(

Oh, I think it's AWESOME!!!
