Clint: excellent bend! please have a look at my circuit bending videos! i can relate with your self-taught circuit bending experimentations! ok maybe a little bit?! mine aren't nearly as thoroughly interesting as yours are - i just stole the video game device from my little sister and brutally massacred it. to answer your question, in my opinion, yes, playing with electronics and making noise does constitute some form of art! :) keep up the good work!
