Modern Fossils

Posted by Queuebot in Arts & Crafts, Gadget, Science & Tech, Toy & Video Games on March 7, 2009 at 2:05 am



We’ve all seen technology improving at a breakneck pace over the last couple of decades.  While it’s nice to have fresh and shiny new gadgets that work better, we are discarding outdated electronics in alarming numbers.

These modern fossils are hand-made in Austin by artist Christopher Locke.  Each one represents a different piece of "modern" technology that has already become extinct.

The artist has also collaborated with the local Goodwill computer and electronics recycling program, insuring that there is zero e-waste from this project.

    Holy cow, Mister Required. You are one angry bastard. I feel sorry for you, and anyone who has to deal with you on a daily basis. Not only do you not appreciate art, but then when you don't understand something, you resort to personal attacks. I personally LOVE what this guy is doing. If you don't like it, that's fine. But you really shouldn't equate people to feces for trying something different. I bet you've never done anything worthwhile in your life. Perhaps you should get out and do something, and quit putting other people down.

    Chris = brilliant.
    "required" = special ed.
