About the Item
“Still Life with Robot” continues my exploration of vintage tech begun in my "Tech Vanitas" series. Surrounded by rich silks and patterned wallpapers, playful still lifes of familiar devices suggest 17th Century Dutch paintings. My photographs display a fascination with dated merchandise, industrial design, and scientific ingenuity. The gadgets in this photograph include an Olivetti Letter 32 portable typewriter, opera glasses, wind-up tin toy Roxy Robot, transistor radio in need of repair, and a multi-tool. What becomes of the beloved tech that stops working or becomes obsolete? My still lifes examine the present and the past of technology without easy answers but rather with a sense of wonder and trepidation.
