So very beautiful... but the real art here is the catalog "museum-speak."

"Combining the essential properties of polystyrene (strength in compression and light weight) with its aesthetic properties (varied translucence and infinite variety of shapes), Rogenes appropriates this devalued yet delicate material and treats it as if it were a precious one, like marble or alabaster. He carves each pre-molded piece by hand before fixing it into position, using plastic-based glue as his mortar. Repeating this process with anywhere from five to 100 or more individual components, he creates pieces that recall totems, space stations, and cities in relief using equal doses of spatial intuition, careful craftsmanship and artistic vision."

Wow.

Looking around my house, I've got a bunch of stuff from work. The policy has always been "if it's in the dumpster, take it."

Never got any computers, by the time they move from desktop, to cold storage, then cleaned out to trash most are too old to use. My boss had me call around to some schools to see if they wanted the old 286's we were finally dumping, just got some laughs.

I missed the best score. Our antenna field was redesigned, and all the waveguide was dumped. Over 1000 pounds of copper in the dumpster, one guy I work with had it loaded in his truck in ten minutes.

Um... That's an American geiger counter. They were handed out by the thousands to civil defense people. Search "Victoreen" on Ebay.
Cool mod!

Both Foot (MI 9: Escape and evasion, 1939-1945) and Shoemaker (The Escape Factory: The Story of Mis-X) say that the Red Cross was never used for “loaded” supplies. They created their own false charities because they didn’t want the official packages tainted in any way.
