"Mobile" by Nome Edonna is brilliantly self-explanatory. It's a mobile of mobile phones, all of which were rescued from the city dump. Edonna admits the piece is pretty humorous, but says it's also intended to "reflect the present state of mass consumerism." See if you can spot one of your old phones in there.
Inside the SF Recycling & Disposal center was the embodiment of "found" art: two artists-in-residence were given the opportunity to turn junk into gems, and did so to dazzling effect. Sudhu Tewari displayed his creations as an exhibit titled, "AUX: Tune for Minimum Smoke," and Nome Edonna's "System Overload" exposed the crowd to their artistic interpretations of our mass consumerism, while attempting to bring attention to the problem of electronic waste.
