All Tech Considered recently reported on Tim Tate, an artist who creates reliquaries for our electronic age.  Each bulb-shaped glass container is decorated with blown glass and contains a tiny working video screen that plays a video created by Tate.  He had a vision for how he wanted the art piece to work, but before he could continue he worked with an optics company to create the tiny screen, which runs without a dvd player or other standard video playback mechanism.  The screen has few moving parts, just an on/off switch on the bottom of the glass bulb.  Tim Tate is co-founder of the washingtonglassschool.com
