Abstract

To create great paintings, an artist not only needs a magnificent vision but must also know how to stretch canvas and mix paint. This chapter discusses practical skills for the design and implementation of optoelectronic systems. Because art has no agreed boundaries, technical depth may appear inconsistent, with items perhaps appearing trivial to one reader being useful insights for another and vice versa. A specific optoelectronic system is chosen as an example to provide continuity while illustrating many techniques.
