Artist Sandy Smith has thought of a wonderful way to recycle old PCs and monitors. Smith designed a piece of art named Mauritian Sunset for the Great Artspectations Exhibit at Embassy Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. The old PCs and monitors are installed and set up to approximate a sunset.
Geeks and tech fiends, however, might be far more interested in the hundreds of CPUs and network of wires on the back of the installation. All the monitors used were donated by the Glasgow School of Art.
