Ian - I'd be interested in what you find out about the Arduino. I heard a talk on it at BarCamp NYC a couple of weeks ago. The talk was about its use in artworks and the complications this raises for art curators with regard to maintaining the work because they often lack the technical expertise to work with a micro-controller. There are also issues about maintaining the integrity of a piece - whether a curator has the right to potentially alter a work by changing its programming.
Please keep us informed.
