Mysterious Creatures Emerge from Recycled Materials in Sculptures by Spencer Hansen via Colossal [Shared]
Long-legged creatures don otherwordly masks in sculptures by Bali-based artist Spencer Hansen, whose work explores identity and connection through a cast of uncanny characters. Using primarily natural, found, and recycled materials like wood, metal, bone, plant fibers, and ceramic, he draws inspiration from surrounding environment and frequent travels. Originally from Idaho, he relocated to Bali where he built a workshop that houses studios and live-work space for a team of skilled artisans who help to bring the pieces to life.

From Gadgets to Garbage 
62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022 — and only 22% was properly recycled. The rest? Landfills, illegal exports, or lost forever. It's about responsibility and sustainability.
How do you approach this? Repairing more? Skipping upgrades? Buying refurbished?

Less than 10% of global plastics manufactured from recycled materials, findings reveal https://phys.org/news/2025-04-global-plastics-recycled-materials-reveal.html
"Of the 400m tonnes of plastic produced over the course of 2022, just under 38m tonnes (9.5%) was produced from recycled plastic, 98% of the remaining 362m tonnes was produced from fossil fuels, predominantly coal and oil."
“Right now, there is a huge demand for such ‘hybrid’ laptops... Most people don’t care about having the latest model; they just want something that works and won’t break the bank.”
Always cool to see stuff destined for e-waste being made useful again.

There's a thriving market in India for cheap laptops that are made by salvaging parts from several different PCs from different brands and stitching them together into a "new" laptop made from scraps, despite opposition from PC makers. #Refurbish #Reuse #Recycle #India #RightToRepair #Computers #Laptops https://www.theverge.com/tech/639126/india-frankenstein-laptops

There are Saturday pleasures, and then there are Saturday pleasures... 
Screening today, one third complete. Though this cheap screen does not intend to be repaired the vibrator is great at cutting through the tiny nails that hold the frame in place. Screws replace them for easier future repairs.
@teruterubozu thinks I should get a calligraphy brush next, lol. She's just jealous of my zen like intentionality repairs.

PSA: If you want to chop up your loops like it's 1995 you could either grab #ReCycle from the big plugin vendors for 100 earth credits, or you could head to https://www.reasonstudios.com/download-recycle and download it for free (and your email address).
I actually had it in my wishlist for a while, hoping for an eventual discount, and all of a sudden this dropped!
Now if only I still had a SCSI port to connect my sampler to...
