The Technological Mandala No. 2 by Leonardo Ulian is the lastest to come from this London-based artist. His work features carefully assembled computer pieces that come together to create a giant symmetrical mandala.
A Mandala, for those who are unfamiliar, is a geometric figure that represents the universe of Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. Leonardo uses the tiny computer components, microchips, circuitry and wiring to create his largest mandala yet. Leonardo also has many smaller versions of the mandala that you can check out on his website.
I think the best part about the piece that it is perfectly symmetrical, every piece that you see on one side is reflected on the other.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Computer Component Art
- There is an opportunity for artists to create symmetrical mandalas using discarded computer parts.
- DIY Electronics Crafting
- There is an opportunity for makers to create mandalas using computer components since it does not require artistic ability.
- Technology-centric Art
- There is an opportunity for artists to integrate technology into their art, creating a new form of art that reflects modern times.
Sectors Adopting This
- Art Galleries
- Art galleries have the opportunity to showcase technology-centric art like Leonardo Ulian's mandala, attracting tech and art enthusiasts.
- E-waste Recycling
- E-waste recycling companies can collaborate with artists or makers to recycle and reuse discarded computer components creatively.
- Tech Education
- Tech education can adapt this mandala as a teaching aid, fostering creativity and innovation in learning about technology.
