Artist's New Photography Exhibit Features Tube Televisions Powering Off

The photographer's work will appear in Germany before coming to Washington D.C. in June.

High definition televisions are still relatively new on the scene when considered over the course of history, but it's rare to see anything else. LCD and plasma displays have replaced the old technology almost completely.

Berlin based artist Stephan Tillmans has put together an interesting series of photographs that might bring up some feelings of nostalgia. His latest exhibit is a collection of photographs snapped just as tube televisions were turned off.

The result is a trip down memory lane. The shapes and colors created by a tube TV as it shuts off are incredibly interesting and complex, but there's just one question. Is it art?

So-Cal Store Offers Cash for TV Clunkers

They're giving customers as much as $1,000 trade-in for their old electronics.

Are you one of those people who still has a big-screen 4:3 television sitting in the garage? How about some CRT computer monitors or even a crappy old laptop? If you've got it, home theater retailer Diamond Case Designs will take it.

Not only will they get that junk off of your hands, they'll give you money for it too, in the form of a discount of up to $1,000 towards the purchase of a new TV that's Energystar 4.0 compliant.

If you live within 30 miles of Diamond Case and you've got one of those sets that's just too big to transport yourself, they'll even send a truck to pick up the old one and deliver the new one. It doesn't get much easier than that.

The company has partnered with All Green Electronics Recycling to take care of the waste, ensuring that everything is disposed of properly.
