About Sustainable Art & Design Services
My Way: Turning E-Waste Into Art
I make art from what most people call junk. Old motherboards, keyboard keys, tangled wires - all that stuff gets a new life in my studio. Been at it for 20 years, and honestly, not every piece is easy. Some parts refuse to fit or look ugly together. But sometimes, a broken circuit turns into the most eye-catching part of a sculpture.
Why I Do This
My work isn’t just for show. I want you to look at your gadgets and think twice before tossing them. Arivininda kriyege (from awareness to action) is what I believe in. If my art makes you pause and rethink your next purchase or repair, I’ve done my job.
What I Make
- Large installations and murals for offices, public spots, or even lobbies. Think giant trees built from keypad mobiles or walls covered with remote controls. These projects help companies talk about sustainability.
- Sculptures and wall art for collectors. Like ‘Cyber Ganesha’ made with keyboard keys or recreations of classic paintings using e-waste. Each piece is one-of-a-kind.
- Wearable art - dresses made with circuit boards, earrings from resistors. I also mentor students who want to try their hand at creating sustainable fashion accessories.
The Process
I break gadgets down, clean every bit, and hunt for interesting textures. Sorting thousands of pieces takes time. Every little part has its own place in my recycled materials artwork.
Be Part of It
On big projects, I welcome volunteers. If you want to learn, get your hands dirty and help turn trash into something beautiful, let’s work together.

My Story
Hi, Vishwanath here. I’m not your regular artist - started as an engineer, got my hands dirty with ham radios, and now I turn old gadgets into art. Dad was a palace sculptor, so I grew up in that creative mess. Kabadi bazaar is my playground. I see stories and rhythm in junk, not just trash. I’m also into music and poetry. Art, for me, is a second life. This is my upcycle journey.
My Work
Eco-Art Installations & Murals - I make big murals and sculptures for offices and homes. Like a 25-foot mural from 3,000 remotes. Custom or ready pieces.
Workshops & Talks - I run hands-on workshops and talks at schools, colleges, and companies. Learn to turn e-waste into art.
Wearable Art & Sustainable Fashion - I team up with designers to create wearable art from e-waste. Style meets sustainability, every piece has a story.
The CyberGanesha Project - I make a unique 3D Ganesha from e-waste once a year. It’s a blend of tech, devotion, and sustainability.
