About
Desert Signal

Desert Signal is a design-driven art practice by Tony Frusciante, built at the intersection of Bauhaus modernism and the silence of the American Southwest.

All works are constructed digitally—with intention. This isn’t generative art or automation—it’s human-made signal. Born from a love for scale, stillness, and structure, Desert Signal explores how minimalist forms can hold deep emotional weight.

Each piece is designed to anchor a space, echo the mood of the landscape, and remind us what it feels like to pause.

“It’s not painted, printed, or generated. It’s built—digitally, deliberately, and by hand.”

— Tony Frusciante
