cyanotype project :: statement.

This project is a catalog of obsolescent electronics and their mechanical components circa the years 1995-2005. All of these items were extracted from among a 56k modem, a compact disc player, an analog television, a corded telephone, an radio frequency modulator, a point and shoot film camera, and a Zip disc drive. All of these objects have been rendered obsolete by the advances of the last decade. A cable modem, an mp3 player, a flat-screen television, a wireless or cellular phone, wireless routing or HDMI cables, digital cameras, and external hard drives succeed all these objects as modern equivalents. This project is an exploration of the ephemeral quality of all of these products and the pace at which our relationship with technology is evolving.
