Abstract
Artists continue to search for new methods of creation of artworks. The trend to interactive multimedia installation work requires systems that allow participants to interact in subtle ways. The paper describes a number of non-conventional interfaces to computer mediated art works achieved using small Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) called ‘Stamps’. These are programmed in BASIC and can be interfaced to personal computers or used as stand alone devices. They are cheap and extremely versatile in their use for non-conventional interfaces.
