Technosonder

The feeling of sudden realisation that the technological devices and objects we use carry something of the humans involved in their conception, design and manufacture. Not only that, they carry something of the humans who have used them before us, like a tangible history written in aesthetics, construction and deterioration.
In a society obsessed with the new and pristine, technosonder reminds us of the treasure to be found in the old, classic and used.
