Have you been to Taiwan lately? Because if you do, and you’re a nerd, you’ll most probably notice this very cool looking “MADE IN TAIWAN” sign, or art, as some call it. Gigabyte’s at it again, by installing a 30-meter wide piece of art consisting of 1,200 scrap motherboards at Terminal One of Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan. It is one of three Taiwanese airports with regular international flights, and is by far the busiest international air entry point amongst them.

Anyone who walked pass Gate B7 of Terminal 1 surely can’t miss out this art decoration on the wall. Many passengers even took pictures of the gigantic “MADE IN TAIWAN” motherboard artwork. The wall was made purely of scrap motherboards and graphics cards provided by Gigabyte Technology. Through the helps of Ever Rich Duty Free Shop, these scrap motherboards were turned into an art piece that makes an impression on domestic or international passengers.

This is actually in conjunction to the government’s renovation and decoration project on Taoyuan International Airport to bolster the first impression and strengthen the country’s image to visitors from other nations. The artwork is Gigabyte’s response to the design theme of “Reaching out Taiwan Technology to the World”, and the company has provided 1,200 pieces of scrap motherboards and graphics cards to construct the “MADE IN TAIWAN” installation art piece and to show its care for Mother Earth with reused resources. Indirectly that also probably shows how much defected motherboards and graphic cards that is returned from customers.

To construct the design wall, a designer and few craftsmen had spent days just to make the 30-meter wide background with motherboards in all different sizes. The craftsmen did all cutting and shaping of the circuit boards manually just to create the collage of “MADE IN TAIWAN”. The pop-art piece was simple yet powerful in delivering the image of Taiwan and its technology strength. Upon completion, the renovated B7 lounge with the motherboard installation art piece immediately became the centre of attention of all passengers.

Not sure how it looks in real life, but it sure is stunning and beautiful in pictures. If you have a chance to visit Taoyuan International Airport, do stop by Gate B7 and take a photo of the artwork.
