How’s this for cutting the crap? Make use of old, outdated computer hardware
by repurposing it as abstract art! WHY
NOT? This will keep tons of silicon crap
out of our landfills and provide some interesting conversation pieces. This particular piece is an old IBM server
hard drive circa 1990! It stands on its
own and reminds me of an aerial map of some metropolis we never knew about. It also weighs about 5 pounds. The owner tells me that it is still
functional (what!), but is so outdated that nothing we have today will run on
it. Still. This looks really cool and could even be used
as a bookend.
Just on a whim, I decided to see what other folks were doing
with old computer crap they had lying around.
I googled it, and here are some of the interesting things that showed
up.
Theo Kamecke made this striking box from
circuit boards. It’s not only beautiful,
but functional. Click the link to see his other stuff. This guy is amazing. You can also read a cool article in MaximumPC
about other amazing pieces of art.
Pretty cool stuff, right? I especially like the take on
insects. VERY imaginative.
