As humans move through iterations of inventions we leave trace records of previous technologies and devices.
This series is built from the viewpoint of the future — what might remain, be transformed, be unearthed, and wondered at. These pieces include recycled and reclaimed bits of tech:
from once “new” inventions like fruit bags, staples, audio cassette tapes and CDs to the ubiquitous cell phone.
