Taiwanese artist builds car using 25,000 mobile phones

New York- and Japan-based Taiwanese artist Lin Shih-Pao has spent the past four months working on an unusual project — a life-size car made out of 25,000 mobile phones.

The project, he says, is intended to spread environmental awareness.

The car was unveiled at Lin’s former high school in new Taipei city just in time for the annual school concert. Students inspected the work and marveled at the color scheme. Some even participated in creating the art piece by helping collect phones for the artist.
