Instead of building monumental art pieces, both artists would like to challenge themselves to use e-waste to create and give new life to them with simple resources. Three types of devices, namely scanners, printers and radios, were taken apart. The core mechanisms to generate light (Relight), movement (Remove) and sound (Retune) are reused. “Relight” consists of light devices that give life to a painting. The movement of the light for scanning images is used to let a flat picture glow. “Remove” which gives rotation and horizontal movement is used to create a manic behaviour, illustrating the hustle and bustle of the city. One of the pieces “Retune” created by Cheuk Wing Nam pays tribute to Jean Tinguely, a Swiss painter and sculptor. By using simple and existing electronics, Cheuk would like to control the tone and sound received from the radio.
