Have you ever wondered what happens to old electronic gadgets when they’re thrown away? 📱💻 French artist Guibog has a magical answer! For over 20 years, he’s been living in the Chinese mainland, turning discarded circuit boards from Beijing’s ancient hutongs into amazing musical instruments. 🎶
Imagine taking a broken smartphone or an old computer and transforming it into a machine that makes music and even talks! That’s exactly what Guibog does. He blends ancient Chinese philosophy, like the teachings of Zhuangzi (an important philosopher from long ago), with futuristic technology. 🤖✨
“I see beauty in things others might call trash,” says Guibog. “It’s like giving them a second life!” By recycling old electronics, he’s not only helping the environment but also creating art that’s full of imagination and wonder. 🌍💡
Walking through the narrow alleys of Beijing’s hutongs, Guibog collects electronic bits and pieces. Then, in his workshop, he turns them into sound machines that can chirp like birds, buzz like bees, or produce sounds you’ve never heard before! 🐦🐝
But that’s not all. Guibog is inspired by Zhuangzi’s stories, which often talk about dreams and reality. He even imagines what it would be like if Zhuangzi could be turned into artificial intelligence! By mixing old wisdom with new ideas, Guibog creates art that connects the past and the future. 🌌📖
Want to step into Guibog’s sonic universe? Close your eyes and imagine a world where anything is possible—where recycling meets imagination, and where sounds tell stories. 🎤🌈
Next time you see an old gadget lying around, think of Guibog and the magic that could be hidden inside. Who knows? Maybe you can create your own musical masterpiece! 🎸🎉
