The art for technic...

The blue tones on this page have followed a deliberate choice inspired by Yves Klein’s work in 1954. The “Blue Tree” illustrated left, in fact contains all shades of bleu that compose this web site’s style sheets.

The art work below, helped me to raise consciousness of our responsability for the world, hence it is an illustration of choice to describe the object of this site.

Max Ernst - Blured world - 1965 - Cœxisting solid and organised structure with vibrant material from where an obscure feeling of un-ease stems and instability which reside in the world as well as inside us.

Citizen product

Franck Menci,

Imagine...

Imagine, a product built using recyclable and re-useable components. Assuming that each discrete part is made of one single recyclable material, such as glass, metal or thermoplastics. Each material can turn to a new item after processing. It is not so simple while considering electronic components, nevertheless, if better materials are applied, it would increase performance and longevity ; on the other hand, a more modular design would allow to extract parts once they become obsolete after use in order to dispose appropriatly of it.

The street lighting represented on the CAD model improves the look of our town. It also takes into account its environment because it can be disassembled without any tool, except for the electrical gear, which goes off in one piece, each item is made of only one material.

Thus elements that still function may be reused in new product. Science and technology push our society to comsume, such product would respond to such a need, while fulfilling its citizen duty. Obviously, initial cost becomes more difficult to justify whence the conservation potential is not accounted as the product reaches end of life.
