recycled batteries as art - dead star
by rd @ 9:45 am 2 comments »
Canadian artist Michael de Broin has transformed a colorful collection of deceased batteries into a hedgehog-shaped orb he calls ‘Dead Star.’ The sculpture is currently on view at Eyebeam Center for Art and Technology in NYC as part of the “Untethered” show which opened last Thursday and runs until October 25th.

That thing looks really cool. Too much people just throw out batteries instead of recycling them. It needs to be more publicly advertised that batteries cause damage if just thrown out.
But.. such an artform is dangerous if mishandled.
Old batteries do have leak problems and they are susceptible to heat and can blast if they heat up above normal temperatures.
Kindly ensure to provide safety rules with this art installation.
