It has been said that \u201cwhat is one man\u2019s trash is another man\u2019s treasure.\u201d This statement couldn\u2019t be any truer for Lin Shih Pao, a Taiwanese artist who has decided to create a racecar out of 25,000 recycled mobile phones \u2013 flip phones and smartphones, alike.<\/p>\n

Pao has invested $30,000 into the racecar project, not to mention 4 years of planning and gathering mobile phones from around the world, and 4 months of gluing mobile phones together to create the racecar, but it\u2019s an interesting work of art. Pao used glue and nails to bind the phones to the wooden display, which explains why they all come together in such fashion. There are mobile phones with matching colors, which Pao seems to stick together on the wooden display. Smartphones as well as dumbphones were done like this.<\/p>\n

As the pictures below will demonstrate, a number of Motorola flip phones and even some older BlackBerry phones are present, but, interestingly enough, some Samsung smartphones (yes, even the Galaxy S6) makes its way into the pile, too, on the car\u2019s \u201cwooden\u201d display. These phones are \u201cused,\u201d meaning that it\u2019s likely they were smashed, had a cracked or broken screen, and so on, before being used in the car project. In the case of the Galaxy S6, we can only assume that the glass and metal weren\u2019t durable enough for some of the element impact (and thus, were discarded in the trash heap).<\/p>\n

The mobile phones racecar collage is now on display at Pao\u2019s former high school in New Taipei City. The goal for Pao was to produce something from \u201chigh-class garbage\u201d that would be considered a work of art when all mobile phones are considered in light of the big picture. There are a few things Pao\u2019s work shows: 1) first, mobile phones are made with elemental build materials and can be recycled and reused in the same way that aluminum cans are. 2) Next, mobile phones are dumped on an incredible scale \u2013 it\u2019s unbelievable that Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S6 has been out for just 7 months and some have already made it into Pao\u2019s \u201chigh-class\u201d garbage pile.<\/p>\n

3) The throwing away of even one of Samsung\u2019s latest flagships shows just how quickly consumers move from one smartphone to another and lose interest in one phone when others come along. Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 since the S6 and S6 edge, and some of the former Galaxy S6 owners have likely picked up one of the newer models since damaging the Galaxy S6.<\/p>\n

This worldwide mobile phones collage tells a story, one that the whole world can agree with. Pao\u2019s dedication and skill are commendable, and the mobile phones collage stands as a testimony that one can take anything damaged, recycle it, and make something wonderful out of it. Being an artist is not just about creating the right object or image but also using the right materials. It takes creativity and hard work to make the artistic work happen \u2013 and Pao\u2019s new artwork stands as a testimony to his creative idea.<\/p>\n

What do you think of this mobile phones collage? Can you spot a former phone you\u2019ve used before or over the years? Can you pick out some of the phones in the photos below?<\/p>\n
