Admire the colorful city made up of motherboards, processors and microchips
The boards in Heiko Hellwig's Silicon Cities image look like satellite images of future cities.
The boards in Heiko Hellwig's Silicon Cities image look like satellite images of future cities.Power lines like streets cut through skyscrapers as components and semiconductor diodes, along with colorful LED lights.'If you fly in New York or LA in the evening, the scene will be like this,' said Hellwig.
Hellwig built these cities last year with spare parts from MacBook, IBM and PlayStation that he earned on eBay and from friends.8 ideas from the old hard drive
Heiko created a circuit board city by overlapping circuit board pictures
In his studio in Stuttgart, Germany, he removed the black box outside and took the motherboards, microprocessors, microchips located inside the device, then took photos of parts from above with a ladder, use Nikon D850 and tripod.
Profoto lights are used - sometimes with a red and green filter - to give the city a light circuit board and to shine like real cities.With each combination, he won up to 5 hours to pair, from 3 to 10 circuit boards, in Photoshop.He also used colors to create a shimmering effect of the city at night.
He used parts of 50 computers
For Hellwig, this color board represents a bright future that technology companies still promise.But it also satirizes the utopian world, where machines dominate and even a city made only of chips.
Photos taken in about 2 weeks with Nikon D850
