At the 2014 edition of LGM in Leipzig I've shown the evolution on printed circuit board design with a special focus on fonts, which were mostly constrained by the technical capabilities of the tools available at that time. Ten years later, however, there now is a strong Free Software option for designing your own PCBs and there is a growing community of artists using PCBs as a medium for artistic expression, a lot of them actually using KiCAD for the design work. I want to showcase examples of PCBs where the properties of PCBs are used to create visually appealing hardware. I'll also give a quick tour through KiCAD to show the limits of its capabilities as well as its strong side for graphical artworks.
