Used Computer Parts Recycled into Realistic Vehicles

Most of us have discarded at least one computer or some other electronic device in our lives without giving a second thought to what we could do with the parts. We either throw them away, or they end up disused in a closet or the basement.

For whatever reason, Enrique Conde has found the perfect use for the unwanted components. From a distance they look exactly like toys made by actual manufacturers, but when you get up close and personal you begin to notice how every component once found its place inside a computer.

Conde calls his art work ‘KiKe Art’, a mix of metal, plastic and creativity. The materials used to create the stunning vehicles include old hard-drives, motherboards, used mice, and even mobile phones. Who would have thought a mouse can so closely resemble the lines of a motorcycle’s gas tank?!

After looking at these contraptions, we think most of us will see our junk with different eyes from now on. Maybe instead of throwing it into the trash, we might look at a coupe of CDs as being wheels for a model dragster. A broken cellphone might make for a perfect seat, while cooling fans might make good propellers for a biplane.

The list goes on and on, so if you spend a lot of time dissecting these vehicles, you will find a myriad of components, assembled in a creative way to produce artwork that probably will be worth as much as that best Macintosh in a few decades or so. This is our idea of recycling!
