20051229 Data Loss

Ever tried to dispose of a CD full of confidential data?

Snapping it in half could take your eye out with the flying shards.

So, put your CD in the microwave oven – genius! And aren’t those sparks pretty?

But sparks don’t prolong the life of Microwave ovens.

So, gently toast your data files over the flame of a gas ring. Then while nice and warm and soft, inter-lock your digital pancakes.

Return in the morning to discover you have created your own sculpture! – but is it art?

Please click here for the 'Data Loss' Gallery.

1/60s f/2.8 at 70.0mm iso100 with Flash full exif

Well John... I had never thought about this challenge. You certainly created some kind of a work of art!

All kinds of good ideas here, for photos, for art, and for CD disposal. Three for the price of one!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Looks like art to me!
