Mechanical sculptures from discarded items
Rubbish Robots: Mechanical Sculptures From Discarded Items
It looks like the rise of a mini robot army, in fact these are amazing mechanical sculptures made from discarded items.
The works were created by artist Andrea Petrachi AKA Himatic, who takes old broken electronics, used toys and recycled materials and fashions them into robot-like figures.
Highlights include a sculpture fashioned from headphones with a doll's head, several made from cameras and an insect with an electric shaver as a body.
Andrea, 37, from Milan, explains: "I take discarded items, break them into pieces, and, just like solving some puzzle, reassemble them as cool retro-futuristic mechanical sculptures."
The artist says he started disassembling things from a very young age and never grew out of it.
Materials he has used include camera lenses, microscopes, VCR Heads, audio connectors, lamp sockets and swimming goggles.
"My works reflect an interest in the rejects of consumerism and the creatures come from the desire to comment on our out-of-control desire to buy more and more things," says Andrea. "Breathing life into these old objects gives forgotten items a second life."
Calling himself a sculptor in the digital age Andrea says he finds inspiration in old sci-fi movie, comics, music and anime.

Ground contamination in a village on the Delhi border, India, August 2006. The environmental implications of e-waste recycling are severe contamination of the workplace and surrounding area by a number of toxic metals and persistent organic compounds. Acidification of watercourses and sediments from waste acid makes metals more mobile and therefore much more likely to cause damage to both humans and aquatic life. Waste produced at every stage of the e-waste dismantling process is contaminated with toxic metals.
India has become one of the world's largest dumping grounds for electronic waste, known as e-waste. Thousands of tons are sent illegally each year from western countries including the UK for recycling. It is dismantled by hand, unwanted parts are then dumped or sent to landfill where lethal toxins, such as lead, cadmium and mercury contaminate the environment.

Kurla Mumbai, India, July 2006. A young boy works in a scrap yard in Mumbai. Thousands of men, women and children work in the unregulated backyard e-waste recycling units all over India. In Delhi alone over 10,000 people are employed in recycling activites. Most are unaware of the health implications of handling such toxic materials. They wear no protection againts the harmful chemicals and heavy metals present in fumes and workshop dust.

Tin cans discarded in the mountains of the Sinai desert near Dahab in Egypt. Temperatures have already risen by 0.7 degrees celcius in the last 100 years making an already hot and dry area even more so. This desert area is likely to spread across the Mediteranean basin turning areas on the Mediteraneans north shore more desert like and less suitable for agriculture.

British artist Mister Finch at the launch of his new exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. More than 75 individual soft sculptures showcase Finch?s masterful combination of up-cycled and new materials, from discarded wire, steel and wood, to vintage tapestries, cross stitch samplers, tablecloths, antique silverware and rescued cloth. The self-taught artist has drawn inspiration from British folklore, the historic Bretton Estate and Yorkshire wildlife to create his textile wonders. Finch?s Gothic fairytale centres around the story of The Wish Post, a magical kingdom of woodland animals whose job it is to collect and sort other creatures? wishes, which are breathed into envelopes and posted in toadstool postboxes.

A diving mission to remove 'ghost nets' from the wreck of the M/S Portugal in Greece
Ghost Fishing mission to clear seas of discarded fishing gear, Greece - 16 Apr 2016

These otherwordly images show divers combating the eco-scourge of 'ghost fishing' earlier this month (April).
Ghost fishing is what fishing gear does when it has been lost, dumped or abandoned. Nets, long lines, fish traps or any man-made contraptions designed to catch fish or marine organisms are considered capable of ghost fishing when unattended, and without anyone profiting from the catches, they are affecting already depleted commercial fish stocks.
Caught fish die and in turn attract scavengers which will get caught in that same net, thus creating a vicious circle.
Scuba divers are also at danger from the issue, as they can get entangled in abandoned fishing gear.
The Healthy Seas diving team of six divers, formed by Greek and Dutch volunteers, removed big ghost fishing nets on the Karystos Reef near Evia, Greece.
