Want a crazy-cool piece of art for your office? If you have old, broken computers lying around, you may want to convert them to art as Leonardo Ulian did. You do not need some great artistic ability with a paintbrush, merely an eye for where to glue pieces on a canvas.
It’s so simple that it’s genius.
Place cans on a canvas to help with large circles and wrap thin gauge wire around the bottom.
The piece is all about symmetry, and if you’re worried that you can’t accomplish this, try this:
- Take a large sheet of paper
- Fold it in half
- Punch holes in the areas where different pieces need to go
- Unfold and place on canvas
- With a pencil, place dots
- Depending on the complexity of the design, repeat the process with another sheet of paper
- You can even use different colored pencils for different pieces
You don’t even need to be technically literate about this parts.
Start one piece at a time…
making a geometric shape and filling the interior with different designs. Then build out from there…
connecting the pieces together.
It’s very geometric, but it might also look good just a random mess!
Love, love love this idea! It would even make a great gift 🙂 And, if you work in the tech world, what a statement piece!

That’s awesome!
All our computers work, so I’m going to hit Craigslist for free broken ones!
For sure! It looks like a great project
I’m laughing because when my husband left his old department (he works for EMC) the group put together a large circuit board ‘work of art’ – not quite as artistic so it got relegated to the basement (I think still there). Plus we just PAID to have 2 old computers offloaded.
Very cool and creative.
Super creative!
Wow this is so cool. I want to find time to do this. You come up with the greatest stuff. My favorite.
makes me want to buy a spirograph
Thats pretty awesome
How good is your soldering? Looks like a piece of work we had to make in training.

Thanks to my older brother, I did learn how. He had a soldering gun for putting together electronics when we were kids and I was the pesky younger sister 😉
These are incredible!
Wow this is cool, wouldn’t mind having one for my office!
This is so creative! Even the colors are just right 😉
You are brilliant!
Best,
