Marek Tomasik Creates a Spectacular Room Installation from Electronic Waste

<a href="http://inhabitat.com/ask-a-tech-geek-how-can-i-recycle-old-cables-chargers/">Electronic waste</a> is a serious problem that seems ever-mounting with the newest and hottest gadget always ready to replace yesterday's "outdated" dud. And while we've seen some truly special ideas for e-waste reuse, this spectacular room installation by <a href="http://www.instalacja.oksir.eu/">Marek Tomasik</a> takes the cake. Dubbed “You sometimes have to be open”, this latest sculpture from the artist is situated in a historic castle in Świecie, Poland, constructed within a 16' x 14' x 15' high room. The project took nearly three years to complete and uses everything from dead computers, wood and pallets.

A collection of decades worth of hundreds of computers and other electronics, Tomasik's installation takes on a new life that also harks back to an age-old favorite: Tron.
