obsolescence –
a device installation with 3D animation

How many of us buy new clothes while still having so many in their wardrobe? Or buy a new mobile phone after only two years even though the old one works perfectly fine? But what happens with them afterwards? This project takes a critical look at the throw-away society and deals with the different life stages of a product.

The installation shows an animation which is projected onto five old tube TVs. Various objects start to form around a stone base. After some time they fall off and become an endless part of the environment. The surrounding starts to fill up due to the conglomeration of none-biodegradable objects showing the enormous environmental impact of products becoming obsolete.

This project was exhibited at the Ars Electronica Garden Berlin 2021.
