I recently spotted this very cool sculpture, made from old record albums, on Make magazine's website. Titled "Sound Wave," artist Jean Shin melted and manipulated records to form this wave. I love the use of recycling in this sculpture, as well as the punny title. It also makes the observer reflect on the changes in media, and ponder the fate of all of the LPs and mixtapes sitting in thrift stores, closets, and garbage dumps across the world. It's nice to see a few, at least, being put to good use.

i saw this at MAD in nyc last weekend! it's one of many very cool installations made with recycled materials in their 'second lives' exhibit. two of my other faves were a chandelier made of recycled eyeglasses and also a photorealist image of a textile worker made up of designer clothing labels
