Bio-Mechanical Art
I stumbled across the web site for a rather unique artist this morning. Mike Libby is an artist that is combining the beauty of insects with technology. He calls his studio Insect Lab.
Insect Lab is an artist studio that customizes real insects with antique watch parts and electronic components. Offering specimens that come in many shapes, sizes and colors; each insect is individually adorned, each is one of a kind and unique.
Borrowing from both science fiction and science fact, Insect Lab’s customized insects are a celebration of natural and manmade function. Specimens are presented in custom black shadow boxes or glass dome display, allowing for presentation anywhere.
BIG 5″ width.
Rhino Beetle with brass gears & parts.
Displayed in 6” glass dome & walnut base, $650.
Thats fantastic! Always been a fan of bio-mechanical art… but this guy is bringing that into product design too!
