Here's a crazy cool project at the intersection of art and environmentalism: CDSea, a new installation by British artist Bruce Munro. Munro has been collecting castoff CDs from donors, and this past weekend he and 140 volunteers arranged the discs — 600,000 of them, mostly from the UK, but some from as far away as California and Brazil — in a single layer on Long Knoll Field in Wiltshire. The BBC has a slideshow here. The installation, which Munro calls "a glittering inland sea illuminated by natural light," will stay up for two months, after which the CDs will be collected and sent for recycling.
