Computer keys are upcycled into beautiful murals. Keys are popped off keyboards, color sorted, washed, and some dyed. Though this one is inspired by Jackson Pollock, and so these natural beige computer keyboard keys are splashed with paint to create a piece like his. Each key has its own personality by shape, color, depth, etc. Placing these keys together gives a pixelated beauty from the front and a mesmerizing texture up close and on the side. Black floater frame, wired to hang. Made from 2400 keys = ~27 recycled keyboards.

Erik Jensen, a Utah native, has always embraced art. Being born deaf, he considers art to be his first language. Jensen studied art in college and taught high school art classes for a couple of years, but then started computer key art as a business in 2017. Jensen lives true to his motto: “People will tell you that you are a crazy dreamer because they don’t believe in you. But crazy dreamers believe in themselves and prove they are not a crazy dreamer by making it happen. So be a crazy dreamer and make it happen.” While attending Utah Valley University, an art professor challenged the class to take something people don’t want and turn it into something people do want. With keys from an old computer keyboard he had lying around, Jensen made a face coming out of a computer screen. This intrigued him to do more with computer keys. After a couple of years of experimenting with different ways to use keys, he thought of doing pixel images. He started out using only the natural color keycaps, while he worked to develop a successful dyeing recipe over the next couple of years. That was when it blossomed. Jensen started out recreating images to embrace the pixel concept that we are all too familiar with in this technological world, such as animals and landscapes. Each key has its own personality expressed by shape, color, depth, etc. Placing these keys together gives a pixelated beauty from the front and a mesmerizing texture up close and on the side. Since the start of using computer keys for art, Jensen has participated in various conferences, shows, and festivals. He’s won several awards throughout his art career. His studio is based in SLC, UT where he has a very supportive wife and three children.
