Modern Fossils

Technology-wise, the past ten or twenty years has been a Level 5 Hurricane. The Internet, iPods, Alt-fuel cars, viable wind power, portable GPS navigators, social networking and all the rest of it has reshaped almost every aspect of our daily lives. Recording the recent past in a most unusual way, these are the Modern Fossils from artist Christopher Locke’s Heartless Machine

There is a message in Locke’s madness. Apart from a cool, humorous nostalgia, Locke asserts that many of the once hi-tech “species” went extinct thanks to “runaway consumerism and wastefulness at the high end of the food chain.”
