Evening all. This is technically a re-blog but I came across these x-rays by photographer Max de Esteban over on Selectism this afternoon. They got me pretty excited and my first instinct was, "I have to blog about this". He used an x-ray technique to create them, using various types of electronics as the subject. The idea behind the series is, "the consequences of today’s accelerated embracement of new technologies and formats in the art practice". I can appreciate the meaning behind these and it got me thinking just how quick the turnover is on the newest gadget, which then quickly becomes old hat. I tend to hang onto old electronics, probably because I hoard these things like many of us do but also because of a memory it might evoke or just as simple as it being someone's interesting design decision.
It also made me want to whack out my film camera, which I know I neglect. Is this ringing any bells, which products do you tend to neglect?
If you happen to be in New York Max Esteban's Proposition One is currently exhibiting at the Klompching Gallery until 9th December. Images from his site.
In other news, I still haven't decided on the trainers but I will hopefully be trying a few of them on soon, thanks for all your opinions.
