Hey, remember that scene in that movie, where the guy filmed that plastic bag? That was American Beauty, right? I can’t recall. Anyway, this is that, with a techie twist.

One hundred and eight is an installation by artist Nils Voelker that sees 108 plastic bags become… well, this. Each bag is attached to two CPU cooling fans – one to inflate, the other to deflate. The resulting wall of lungs is nothing short of hypnotic. While the re-appropriation of computer parts is cool on its own, this is one installation piece that’s simply begging for social integration.

Tweetbag.
