About Disk Art

My name is Diana Ritter.  All my life I’ve loved music and art which I have truly enjoyed as my creative outlets.  My career as an Engineer, however took me on a more technical path.  My art created with floppy disks reflect the paradox between my two worlds of technology and art.

With the continuous advancement of computers and technology, floppy disks have become obsolete. In the wake of Green Awareness, I realized there is nothing that can be done with them – except load our landfills and destroy our environment.  So, I gathered up all my old disks, rescued thousands more, and used them as the “canvas” for my artwork.  Now, instead of adding to the destruction of our environment these disks have become art that can last a lifetime.
