Obsolete, Noah DiPietro, 2020
I have always had a concern for the environment. I want to live on a clean planet where we have no waste. One of the biggest roadblocks of achieving that goal is our desire to consume. We as people have the desire to buy new flashy possessions in an attempt to have a short but strong rush of excitement. Very quickly do these possessions become outdated and obsolete. Our households build up with old pieces of plastic that was once the future and is now the past. The technology I used in my work has a recognizable feeling. This is because we were using them only a few years ago. In the blink of an eye these once beloved technologies become ruins of the past. I want to show how fast this technology gets old by using familiar items and making them seem like old as ruins. We do not need to buy large amounts of technology just because they are new. This level of consumerism creates vast amounts of waste.
