Light fixtures made from old CRTs
I love these light-fixtures made from obsolete CRTs from Technoscrap (whose site, unfortunately, has no way to directly link to them, hence the link to Make). Link

Wow. I would not want those in my house. CRTs are full of lead shielding. This is one thing when the tubes are hidden safely away inside a cabinet. Quite another when the are left bare.
Also not that those things are heavy, just in case the attachment to the ceiling gives way.
Still, pretty cool, as long as it stays in somebody else's house.
It's also soooooo beautiful!
:P
Retro-contempo-techno design is so 2020s.
Lovely, but I wouldn't volunteer to sit underneath it.
I would love to see a copy of her thesis and hear about what's next in the plan. Unfortunately it appears the website isn't being maintained/updated.
PC components certainly do have interesting and varied properties that can excite the architect's imagination. Many leftover PC parts from my boyfriend's computer business have found their way into my architectural models over the years - some more provocative then others. I wonder what stepping up the scale to one-to-one architectural components might produce.
#1 Harrkev: Usually CRTs are shielded against X-ray emission by using leaded glass, not lead shielding. You'll probably find more lead in the solder used on the printed circuit board.
lead locked up in the glass front, four points of attachment, quite safe.
Though it would be more cool as a working monitor than a light fixture
suppose you vacuum form the shape and install a flatscreen
i am with you on all points takuan esp #8 you crack me up!
i dont think this thing is attractive, though, and am not getting any 'statement' other than 'recycle'. i guess you have to be there.....but.....
