THE TIMELESS MASTERPIECE, from "THE 4004 REBORN" Collection,

by French Artist Frédéric IMBERT.

........ ARTWORK DESCRIPTION ........

When contemporary Art meets Science and modern history...

For its 50th anniversary, a tribute to the very first and most iconic microprocessor of the history that changed the world : the Intel™ 4004 in ultra rare grey traced ceramic version, honored inside a single piece of contemporary Art.

Unique piece, n°1 of 1

The Timeless Masterpiece includes the genuine Intel™ 4004 microprocessor in its most collectible and desirable version, probably the most wanted historical electronic component on the planet, ultra reliable low-pressure bulbs and vacuum displays, vintage and modern technologies, to reveal a surprising piece of horology Art.

It has required more than 4600 hours of development, starting several years ago with the first drawing of the "4004 REBORN" Collection, including hardware and software designs, as well as the entire redesign of the development environment and associated tools, to give a SECOND LIFE to the legendary Intel™ 4004.

........ ABOUT THE ENGINEERING ARTIST ........

Frédéric’s passion for electronics has led to the creation of a truly unique aesthetic concept in contemporary art, connecting together Art and Science, while bridging the gap between vintage and modern.

Through the meticulous interplay of second-by-second transformations, his creations come alive with a symphony of illuminations. The enchanting dance of orange lights, animated digits and sparkling effects, create dynamic visual rhythms marking the unique signature of his collections.

Since his very first drawing in 2002, Frédéric has been designing limited editions of artpieces with no compromise, as he had always dreamed them. Several inspiration sources give birth to his collections : authentic Russian and American pieces from the 80’s playing together, the very first microprocessor of the history, famous shapes of buildings over the world, or the use of original riveted metal frames from the Eiffel Tower...

In 2009, after 15 years of engineering in the service of industry, Frédéric fully devoted himself to his art, and proposed his first 'Sputnik' artwork to the international contemporary art market. Frédéric has established his workshop 30 minutes far from Paris, France, where he constantly invents and realizes new creations.
