“Pen Decline 1 - 2 - 3 in Grey” (Archeology series) Computer Keyboard Sculpture

“Pen Decline 1 - 2 - 3 in Grey” (Archeology series) Computer Keyboard Sculpture

By Daniel Fiorda

For the last several years, Fiorda has dealt with technology, obsolescence, with the trail of discarded tech that humanity leaves behind and what it says about us. The new work takes this thematic one step further. These new wall pieces feature barely concealed found objects, almost fully engulfed by concrete, and yet still eerily discernible: industrial gears, computer keyboards, objects that evoke industrial post-digital eras. This piece is a set of 3 artworks...
