Obsession
2018 | Wearable Art Piece
A critical commentary on humanity’s relationship with technology and the waste it creates.
In the digital age, we have become obsessed with technology and how it enhances our human condition. Obsession puts our digital fixation under the microscope to highlight technology’s viral nature and its physical reality, electronic waste (e-waste). Material conscious design elements embody this idea both conceptually and physically. Ethernet and fibre optic cables consume the body as if humanity has literally become trapped within technology’s viral grasp. The purpose of this commentary is not to frame technology in a negative light, but promote reflection on what in our relationship with technology needs to change to help us move towards a sustainable future.
