Artist Nick Gentry uses obsolete floppy discs to construct canvases, on which he paints large portraits. Gentry has exhibited in the UK, USA and Europe and describes himself as “part of a generation that grew up surrounded by floppy disks, VHS tapes, polaroids and cassettes,” the media he uses to create his art.

“The floppy disk stands firm and lives on as a metaphor for the increasing pace of the modern life cycle, mass production and the throwaway culture of today.”

His book Obsolete is available here.
