Eco Factor: Artwork created from discarded CDs.
Artist Bruce Munro has reused about one million unwanted compact discs to create a shimmering inland sea at Long Knoll Field in Wiltshire, England. Apart from some local collections, the massive sea used more than 600,000 discarded CDs that were sent from as far away as Brazil and California.
The 120sqm carpet of glittering CDs reflects light from the sun and the moon across a 10-acre field. While on one side the reflective surfaces present a soft blue haze, with light ahead they dazzle like mirrors. The “CD Sea” will be on public view 24 hours a day before the structure is disassembled and the CDs sent to a recycling plant after two months.
