Computer Disk And Video Tape Art

computer_disc_art.jpg

Artist Nick Gentry creates stunningly beautiful artwork that incorporates discarded computer disks, video cassettes and other "obsolete" media storage items.

Each floppy disk used in the paintings has a history and story of its own. It represents the increasing pace of the modern life cycle, where objects are created, used and disposed of quicker than ever. To challenge this notion, as these personal artefacts of life are cast aside, the obsolete are now given new life and a renewed purpose by using them as a medium for art.
