The average replacement cycle of the home computer lasts 5 years, and in recent years, families of 4 or more have begun to purchase 2 computers. We are increasingly becoming a digital world, but the downside of our obsession is a mess of obsolete processors, peripherals and e-waste. We’ve featured installations here before that were created out of e-waste, but “Mauritian Sunset” by Sandy Smith has us buzzing. It’s essentially a wall of expired computers and monitors, that have been modified to show off a different, eerie colour on one side. I just love the door cut into the mess, which could serve as a metaphor on so many different levels. What do you think?
