I suppose that if I say what I think about them, I would get banned from this list... so
I'll limit myself to thinking it...

Yes, they just picked up the collection for free somewhere, and are throwing out all the
"unusable" parts to make a work of "art" and asking loads of money for
it.
Basically their mission states:
"100% responsible upcycling from outdated (parts) from collections. Adding value to
artefacts which once carried value."
Company overview:
"Fenix Design's mission is to (re)use old (museum) collections in a responsible
manner. We cooperate with established designers to create sustainable and innovative ideas
and products"

I've used google to translate some parts. I
"think" they plan to
dismantle to turn the things in parts of "artworks" soldering and such.
The original poster would be the right person to give more details.
(I'm understanding from a comment that they asked idiotic prices for
the items, like 2000 euro for a tape drive)

How the heck did they get their hands on a museum collection ? And
how's possible that they got it without conditions set in place ?

Hello all,
Sad news. the dutch organisation "Fenix Design" is actually
butchering the museum collection from former museum "Scryption"
https://www.facebook.com/fenixhergebruik
they sold off the valuable pieces and are now in the process of
taking
apart and
throwing away the remaining parts. we as hack42
tried to take over
the remaining stuff, but they asked way to much.
feel free to post a comment on their facebook page.
