Floppy Disks as Art Medium

“A Collection of Memories” by Nick Gentry

Nick Gentry uses old floppy disks, VHS tapes, and other antiquated media storage devices as his chosen medium for painting. The subjects tend to be facial in nature, most likely due to the omnipresence of circular mechanisms inherent in such things. From his About section:

Each floppy disk used in the paintings has a history and story of its own. It represents the increasing pace of the modern life cycle, where objects are created, used and disposed of quicker than ever. To challenge this notion, as these personal artefacts of life are cast aside, the obsolete are now given new life and a renewed purpose by using them as a medium for art.

Table made from VHS cassettes

Asaf sez, "After hanging on to my VHS tapes collection for about 15 years -schlepping them to every apartment I moved - I realized those movies are NEVER going to see the light of day or a screen, for that matter. So I decided to be kind AND rewind!"
