Greek artist transforms 100 CPU fans into a sculpture

A kinetic sculpture that re-imagines the use of cpu fans to create a mesmerizing, meditative experience

Newsroom January 2 10:10

Greek artist and designer George Zisiadis uncovers the beauty of a  plastic computer fan transforming CPU fans into a kinetic sculpture.

The kinetic sculpture is called “Phyxel” and is made from a grid of 100 CPU fans, which are commonly used to keep computers from overheating.

“I draw constant inspiration from closely examining the common things we overlook every day,” he tells Tech Insider. “A CPU fan is so utilitarian and unassuming — but arranged in a certain way it becomes beautiful and poetic.”

All of the fans are connected to a preset controller that dictates how they would spin.
From the back of the piece a complex system of wires emerges, while in the front, the fans whirl in a sporadic, lively fashion.

The work re-frames an object that computer owners use every day. “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change,” Zisiadis says.
