| Silicon Sculpture - 1972 TI number: G00105 First known work of art (1972) shaped from single crystal silicon. This item was part of the original S/B Lobby display. A + T was made to a design by Harvard trained Venezuelan sculptor Alberto Collie and produced at TI. A decade earlier TI'ers had worked with him to develop electromagnetic levitators for innovative sculptures called spacial absolutes. This piece combines a dual sophistication of art and technology in an unlikely material. It is reported that about 200 of these pieces were made and signed by the sculptor. |
