TechWaste Trilogy
The three series, "Drone Kits," "Un-wearable Tech," and "Future Tech-Trash," all explore the complex relationship between technology and waste. In our highly technological society, waste takes many forms - from physical waste generated during production and disposal, to digital waste in the form of outdated or unused data. The drive to constantly push the limits of technology can lead to an excess of production and waste, creating countless iterations that often fail.

Un-Weareble Tech

"Un-wearable tech" presents a paradox in the world of fashion - clothing that is technologically advanced to the point of being almost unimaginable, yet completely impractical to wear. This new breed of clothing challenges the traditional notions of what we consider to be wearable.

And as we increasingly merge with our devices, the line between human and machine begins to blur. Our bodies start to morph and mutate, becoming grotesque caricatures of the sleek and seamless tech that we worship. We become wannabe cyborgs, straddling the line between humanity and the cold, unfeeling world of machines.
 
Drone Kits

Drone Kits represent the latest in DIY drone technology. With these kits, enthusiasts and hobbyists can assemble their own drones from a range of components, and experience the thrill of building their own custom flying machines.

However, while these kits may offer a unique and exciting challenge, they also represent a paradox in the world of drone technology. On the one hand, they offer an unparalleled level of customization and control over the final product. On the other hand, they run the risk of becoming overly complex and ultimately self-defeating.

The very purpose of a drone is to simplify and streamline the process of aerial exploration and surveillance. Drones are designed to be sleek, efficient, and highly functional, with a focus on speed and agility. However, the concept of Drone Kits takes this functionality to an extreme, with kits that are loaded with so much technology and complexity that they are no longer practical or even functional.

Future Tech-Trash

The concept of "Future Trash" represents the ultimate paradox of our highly technological society. As we continue to push the limits of what is possible with technology, we often create more and more waste in the process. This waste can take many forms, from physical waste generated during the production and disposal of technology, to digital waste in the form of outdated or unused data.



The roots of this problem lie in the excess and over-the-top customization that are often used to create high-tech products.


The same paradox that we observed in the "Drone Kits" and "Un-wearable Tech" segments applies here as well. The constant pursuit of more technology can lead to a paradoxical situation where the technology itself becomes useless, despite its advanced features and capabilities. This creates a redundancy where the ultimate goal of the technology becomes lost in a sea of overproduction and waste.






What's more, the aesthetics and feeling of "Future Trash" are the same as those of the "Drone Kits" and "Un-wearable Tech" segments, reflecting the inherent paradoxes of our technological society. This means that everything - from the original product (such as a drone kit) to the trash that it eventually becomes - shares the same visual style and feel.

It's worth noting that the process of creating the images themselves, and the cost of processing all the images that were not used in this series, are also part of this "Future Tech-Trash." The creation of these images may have required a significant amount of energy and resources, which ultimately contribute to the same problems of excess and waste that we see in the technology itself.

In the end, "Future Tech-Trash" reflects the sad reality of our current technological society, where the newest and most advanced products become obsolete at an increasingly rapid pace. 

The faster technology advances, the quicker it becomes obsolete, and the more quickly it is discarded and replaced. We've grown accustomed to this cycle of constant innovation and endless progress, but in the process we've lost sight of the true cost of our technological obsessions. We've forgotten about endless stream of meaningless data that clogs our digital lives. .
