Cyber Sculptures Are Frightening, but Likable

This article is over 13 years old and may contain outdated information

Andrea Petrachi (known artistically as Himatic) has created a series of “cyber sculptures” using discarded electronics, gadgets and toys. His recycled sculptures are both disturbing and endearing, reminding us that there are ways to re-use objects no longer of value, but also that we have so many goods to re-use because of our own mass consumption. Nothing drives home the point that we have too much stuff than a cyborg rubber ducky (who is seriously scary-looking) or really any robot-like sculpture with a disembodied children’s toy for a head.
