Where Do All The Forgotten PCs Go? In This Room.

Polish sculptor Marek Tomasik spent three years collecting junk PCs. And with those, he covered an entire 4.8m x 4.2m x 4.5m room from top to bottom with the guts of those PCs (it’s what any sane person would do, right?). Even better, it’s viewable as an interactive 3D map.

The vast majority of the pieces have been mounted to the bare wood beams of the room, which give the space a very workshop-like quality. And while I can appreciate the beauty in repurposing old junk into something new, navigating through the room with creepy-ass power saw sound effects makes me hope I never stumble upon such a locale alone. It probably wouldn’t end well. [Marek Tomasik via Bit Rebels via Geekosystem]

          Perhaps Polish computers come with those…? :)

          Anyway, in the top pic it looks like there’s a couple of CD drives?

          Not sure what they are, I think they might be the wheels out of old hard drive

    Very constructivist. Constructivism with found objects! I love the angular feel, since he’s mostly gone for parts with perpendicular angles and mounted them in line.
    From the images it seems almost like being inside an empty computer case, or even a rotting old spaceship.

    It’s all somehow very unwelcoming…
