The Italian-born, Milan-based artist Andrea Petrachi (a.k.a. Himatic) has mastered the art of recycling to perfection. His robotic sculptures made from discarded objects like broken electronics, recycled materials and old toys are true specimens of his creativity. Himatic believes that compulsive shoppers usually buy things that they hardly need, and ultimately, most of them adorn our landfills or sewers for good. It goes for electronic junk as well.
