An artist, Deborah Sperber, decided to create unique pieces of art out of glimpses fro the original series and the Next Generation. But she didn’t just use old paint on a canvas, instead she pieced together the iconic shots with beads and spools of threads – pretty ingenious if you ask us. For example there is the “Holodeck” made out of 9,600 spools and than there is “Transporter: Spock and Kirk beaming In” made out of 150,00+ color faceted beads. Even if you can’t afford one of these geeky works of art, perhaps you’ll be able to catch them on exhibition in your town. A recent exhibit ran at the Caren Golden Fine Art Gallery in NYC back in April. (Source: Geek Monthly, May ‘08)
