Nov 13 2009Computer Graphics: Motherboard Mona Lisa
This is a recreation of Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' made entirely out of motherboard parts (plus a frame). It sits in the ASUS headquarters in Peitou, Taiwan and is almost half as good looking as the motherboard 'Starry Night' I made. Which I just so happen to be selling for $10 million. If you're interested shoot me an email and I'll start smashing every desktop in this computer lab ship it out as soon as the check clears.
Two closeups after the jump.

@2 how does it feel to be a loser, everyday in a different way?

The real mona lisa isn't bent like that. You don't know anything about art.

A little too abstract to be the classical Mona Lisa. Still, neat concept.

I think there is too much emphasis on the mona lisa, a little overrated even. So I don't understand why there is so many recreations of it! There are far better classical pieces of art out there, I just don't get it at all! Why is this so iconic??
14. JADE - November 13, 2009 12:15 PM
Ok but why is it all floppy looking in the first pic. Looks like you wouldn't be able to hang it. so I have to give it a *fail*

@18: #2 is you, douchenozzle, and I don't think we're brothers. Or, to put it in language that you can understand: EPIC FAIL.
"111" is an interesting screen name—you go down on the half-Nelson, and it's bad luck for life.

How do you know you've been making motherboards for too long...
28. mrhampants - November 16, 2009 2:18 AM
The legend is true! 300 monkeys with a typewriter (on a long enough timeline) CAN make a rudimentary copy of something original!
I think the amazing diligence and craftsmanship of this artist were wasted on simply replicating something. I'd like to see some of his other work...unbound by mimicry of past mediocrity.
4 of 5 stars!

you guys are all fucking pathetic.

@28 - but then it would just be a bunch of mobo's stuck together to look like "something".
