Thread: Cat 5 girl looks is totally geeky

Geek.com reports about a new piece of art created by Kasey McMahon.

Take this provocative piece of modern art created by Kasey McMahon. Called “Connected,” it is apparently a self-portrait sculpture of the artist using steel as the underlying frame, which is then wrapped with Cat 5 patch cables along with other types of wires to create the form of the body. Now we can speculate all day on what this piece means, but I’m sure like any good work of art, the artist is content that this piece provokes thought and discussion.

More photo's here.

That sculpture reminded me of my 'Tech Cupboard' before I categorised everything in February.

I think if you raided the cupboards of some of the top contributors on this (and Seven and Vista) forums and constructed people out of all the wires that we end up with a army of CAT5 people numbering greater than the population of Monaco.

I think i could probably cover half population of Monaco with just the cables i have floating around the house haha

I think iv over exaggerated a bit..... i forgot i had a clear out of some old redundant printer leads and power splitters a few weeks back

You just know now iv binned them someone or something will need them haha

you throw cables away? never! I have a cable that i dont even know what it does im still not throwing it away, I might find out one day!

I'm like that, I still have an old cupboard full of old serial printer connectors and other unidentifies retro cables.
