Built-in Obsolete: Immersive Installation for the Mid-Forms Festival (produced by the New Forms Festival) 2009

Show statement:

Built-In Obsolete was a refuge created some time ago, an obsolete sanctuary to protect us from an imminent disaster that never arrived. Whenever it was thrown together, it was outfitted in all the latest cutting edge gadgets- dusty treasure and weathered wood, rusted-out contraptions and outdated inventions- a curious assemblage of technological oddities long forgotten, operating in ways they were never meant to be.

This installation juxtaposes the contemporary and antiquated, evoking a metaphysical fiction wherein the ordinary tools of today- the technology that we take for granted – may be considered in an extraordinary light.
