I saw the post about the broken displays on Mastodon. The supplier should be ashamed.
The displays are kind of interesting in appearance. Rather than throwing them out, these could be the basis for small glitch art objects. I’d consider buying such an artwork if it helped support an artist and the project. I know the core team is extremely busy, but perhaps you have friends with talent/availability/interest? I’m sure it could be the basis for a commentary on e-waste and global supply chains.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
