Dead Star, a Sculpture by Michel de Broin

By Alex in Art on Sep 27, 2008 at 9:47 am

"Dead Star" is a sculpture by Michel de Broin made from used up batteries:

Dead Star is made from residual battery at the end of their duty. Left to itself, the sculpture will slowly cool down since there is no longer electronic activity taking place in it. The hundreds of batteries were once used to power appliances before they finish their cycle in a recycle facility. Retrieve from death, they were assembled again in this whole structure.

    Why is this art?

    I make more creative poop in the mornings.

    Why would it slowly cool down? Is it warm?

    Tim, you may make more creative poop, but you fail to market it.

    That’s gonna be a ball of fun once the batteries start corroding.
