How is technological advancement affecting our society?
As a result of collecting so many VHS, cassettes and floppy disks, Nick Gentry is recycling these past-technological items to creating his own art. A similar idea has also been done by Sami Havi.
Notes about the artist:
Since graduating from Central St Martins in 2006, the focus has been to explore how technological advancement is affecting society. Throughout history, information has always been recorded on physical objects. Important documents, favourite songs, videos and more were stored on mountains of tapes, polaroids, cassettes and disks. As media is rapidly absorbed into the World Wide Web the rich variety of formats of the past are becoming obsolete.
