Italian sculptor Franco Recchia works with old computer parts, turning them into original models of famous cities.
According to the author, at first he was simply interested in what was in the middle of the computer: satisfying his curiosity, he disassembled more than one old car. And then the idea came to him that a pile of iron parts could not be thrown away, but turned into something creative. A little imagination - and now old motherboards, lamps, power supplies and other elements removed from the computer have turned into miniatures of American cities. Here is New York, Boston, and Pittsburgh …
With his works, Franco Recchia shows that any thing made by human hands is actually beautiful and can be used to create a work of art. Moreover, this applies not only to those objects for which aesthetic appearance is important, but also to those for which functionality is in the first place.
You can buy your favorite work by Franco Recchia if you are ready to pay the requested amount - from $ 2,400 to $ 8,100. Yes, not the cheapest works, but definitely one of the most original. You can see the works of the Italian artist live in Agora Gallery in New York, where they will be exhibited from December 16, 2010 to January 7, 2011.

How to Read Biblical Paintings: What Different Body Parts Symbolize in Christian Art
In the Christian understanding, the body is always an obstacle to seeing and understanding God. You can recall the Platonic concept of how the physical body of a person prevents him from understanding the divine plan and comprehending the essence of what is happening around him. The reason for this is that the carnal part of the human being is distracted by primitive animal senses. In this sense, the depiction of biblical figures has always been at least a controversial activity
Why did the Russian elite choose Crimea, and what parts of the peninsula did Stalin like to visit?
At the end of the 19th century, Crimea was preferred over the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus for safety reasons.
