NYC's Agora gallery is showing the marvellous junk-tech sculptures of Italy's Franco Recchia: " he approaches each subject with that sense of innocent amazement, instinctively following a compositive and rigorous logic until each piece is laid in its correct place. What results are wonderfully distinctive pieces rich in detail, marked by crisp, clean lines and colors that work to delineate the overall composition."
Franco Recchia
(Thanks, Mr G!)

Kevin Kidney owns a couple of audio-animatronic birds from the Enchanted Tiki Room, the first Disney showcase for robotic animals, still running and glorious today — he’s decided to make them good as new, and is documenting his process.

And on a different note… I might be going out on a limb here… but I have an inkling that linlin88’s comment might be spam.
Similar to the leapsecond guy’s RF connector chess set, but his is made out of working parts:

It’s a very difficult call, but I’m forced to agree about llnlin88.
What? No picture of Detroit? ;)
Semi-related parenting/babysitting tip: If you’ve got an obsolete computer or what-have-you that nobody (including you) is interested in anymore, and a child you want to amuse for a while, give the kid a screwdriver and let him or her dismantle it.
You will, of course, end up with a lot of pieces like those in Mr. Recchia’s sculptures.
NB: [a] Give the kid a container (preferably with a lid) for the screws and small pieces; [b] Obviously, this isn’t for kids who still put stuff in their mouths; and [c] The kid should be clear that he or she is not allowed to dismantle your other computers.
Need bigger photos. :)
