Diffuses
by Scott Randall, USA

exhibit Nr.547

Description: Two old fuses found in the bottom of a rusty coffee can at a garage sale in Sacramento, CA.

Comments/Origin: At their center fuses contain a wire that is deigned to self-destruct. It is their duty to lay down their lives for the electrical device that they protect. They are the martyrs of electronics. These particular fuses have not given their lives; their inner wire is clearly still intact. Did they proudly protect some device in the past? Or were they too cowardly to serve? It is unknown.
