ArchiveInstallation2024 Archive is installation-based work created from found materials. This work explores the concept of E-Waste and how perfectly capable and working technology is deemed “waste” and “unusable” due to wasteful contemporary practices. This theme is discussed in ”The Light Bulb Conspiracy” (2010), directed by Cosima Dannoritzer, where the practice of designing products to fail and become defective after a short period to encourage overconsumption, leads to planned obsolescence. Consumers are discouraged from fixing their current items, instead being pushed to purchase new ones. This harmful practice is reinforced through irresponsible product design adopted by most tech companies. However, this issue is designed for Western consumers to overlook/be unaware of the consequences of their purchases as the waste is dumped overseas in countries such as Ghana by labeling them as “secondhand goods,” despite the products being unable to be repaired or recycled. Since these consumers do not have to actively interact with and be aware of the consequences, or sheer amount, of their waste, the issue and people impacted by it might as well not exist. With this work, I wanted to take these materials that were deemed unusable and create something new with them, a graveyard of old tech.
