Technological Mandalas Made from Soldered electronic Components

Leonardo Ulian is an Italian designer who specializes in making sculptures made from electronic and radio components soldered in large networks called mandalas (Sanskrit word meaning circle, community, environment). With the help of many electronic components welded together, he creates stunning works that fascinate by their symmetry and their level of detail. It also manufactures books hampered by microchips. His works are regularly exhibited in galleries around the world.

Giant Fish Sculptures Made from Discarded Plastic Bottles in Rio

As part of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) an enormous outdoor installation of fish was constructed using discarded plastic bottles on Botafogo beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sculptures are illuminated from the inside at night creating a pretty spectacular light show. Love this. See much more over on this Rio+20 Flicker set.
