This series is the manifestation of a profound need to re-establish powerful connections between technology, imagination and freedom. Nowadays the promise of freedom through technology is arguably questionable, and there is an ongoing fascination with the coexistence of outdated and new physical devices. Far from being just a trend, these devices function like time machines, linking the past with the present and even projecting into the future. This project aims to reflect on the way we have embraced technological evolution as well as aspects of programmed obsolescence and its ecological consequences.
