Trying out how computer part look when glued together. Very basic, I know, but it reminded me of junk-sculptures. How we throw away electrowaste without doing something with it. We just put it back into the same system of recycling and don't consider what possible forms this waste could take. Basic prototype.

Second prototype was to attempt to build a wireframe shell. It worked, but it wasn't pretty. If I expand on this idea I'd like to glue these computer parts onto the wireframe in order to cover it in a electrowaste-surface.

Trying out how computer part look when glued together. Very basic, I know, but it reminded me of junk-sculptures. How we throw away electrowaste without doing something with it. We just put it back into the same system of recycling and don't consider what possible forms this waste could take. Basic prototype.

Second prototype was to attempt to build a wireframe shell. It worked, but it wasn't pretty. If I expand on this idea I'd like to glue these computer parts onto the wireframe in order to cover it in a electrowaste-surface.
