Description
Obsolescence
One of the most important works in my latest retro inspired collection, Obsolescence, takes a deep dive into the world of vintage technology that emerged into and throughout the eighties. This was the technology of tomorrow that was more often replaced by tomorrow, such was the pace of technical change throughout the entire decade.
The technology world looked very different by the end of the decade, storage became exponentially greater, music transitioned from analogue to digital, as did watches, music players, and video. Everyone wanted the future in the eighties but unknown to most people, obsolescence was just around the corner at every turn. The image on the TV is of another artwork in this series, The Eighties TV Shop! How many pieces of tech can you count, and how many do you remember?!
I hope you enjoy the nostalgia of this work as much as I enjoyed creating and reflecting on such an important technological decade. Thanks for looking!
