People are always amazed by ingenious gadgets introduced on the market every year, but only a few buyers actually think about how the disposal of their old devices is affecting the environment.

A creative art exhibit, entitled 'Beta Space,' organized in Silicon Valley by the San Jose Museum of Art is seeking to change this fact, unveiling a collection of unconventional works of art, made by environmentally friendly artists using computer cords, mice and keyboards, gathered by GreenMouse Recycling.

The location is definitely not randomly selected, since Silicon Valley is the place where most of the popular devices are being tested and improved.

The exhibit, open to the public until February 26th, should be considered a 'must-see' by eco-conscious people who have a passion for high-tech innovations.

Artist Anna Sew Hoy, actively involved in this project, proves her talent once again, by mixing electronic equipment with everyday material like beer cans or jeans, to make a green statement, in a truly original manner.
