Neither technophilia nor simple refusal

The work is too technologically entangled to sustain a clean anti-technology position, but too suspicious of mediation to celebrate it innocently. Old computers can carry utopian residue; recommendation systems can flatten desire; cameras can become predatory; games can teach forms of difficulty later optimization removes.

Attention as scarce material

Notifications, feeds, advertisements, television, streaming metrics and interface prompts repeatedly compete to name what matters. The problem is not only distraction. Whoever organizes attention can organize reality, value and memory downstream.

Obsolete futures

CRTs, rental-era games, old web interfaces and superseded media systems recur because they retain the future tense they once embodied. The corpus is interested in technologies at the point where their possibilities still exceed their later standardized uses.
