Circuits are beautiful in their own way, and a circuit sculpture takes that abstract beauty and makes it into a purposeful art form. Some artists can use circuit wires as the structure of a sculpture, and can try to tell a story with components.
Twelve Circuit Sculptures We Can’t Stop Looking At article shows you the winning entries of Hackaday Circuit Sculpture Contest. Enjoy the circuit art. So beautiful in so many ways.

Dead Bug Arduino Is Lively And Shield-Compatible

In the case of the board featured here, the Arduino is a gorgeous labor of love which can’t really be called a board since there is no PCB. Instead of the traditional fiberglass, [Jiří Praus] formed brass bars into the circuitry and held it together with solder.

No circuit board, just wires and components. That is Freeduino. Free-form version of famous Arduino UNO.
