About The Artwork

'Planned Obsolescence', yawn. It's a thing. Outrage at the hoodwinkery of it - has now turned to a communal, glazed, ovine-gaze, staring at middle-distance, chewing. Perhaps wondering when the next, better hay-bale will be released. The new I-Hay: XLVII. Oh, ye olde watch-makers and artisans of bygone days, roll gently... slumber unwittingly. Tis better you're not here in the 'nowadays', to suffer the slap, the effrontery to your craft, your modus operandi & the archaic notions of enduring quality - in the face of faceless, fleeting, vulgarity, production lines and calculated breakage. Break-downs. Tech-rage, poppycock and land-fill. Bleaty, sheepy bah-baa-humbugs, resigned, impotent, all too familiar with the calculations of stunted 'life-spans' of burgeoning tech and its associated hob-'nologies'. Mobiles, laptops, gidgets, gadgets, dingles, dongles, floppy discs, hard-drives and pump up the ram sans horns. Vinyl, video, cassettes, VHR, Beta & mixed tapes that morph into CD's then pods or Empeee-threeees, then playlists that disappear PUFF! into clouds (conceptual not cumulonimbus) look, it's not raining, It's streamin' and there's that THING that needs updating, or replacing because your incompatibility, inability or refusal to keep abreast of eleventy-seven systemic updates...renders you hermetic, anxy or just some hirsute, 'totes passé weirdo' that LOL had a land-line. (LOLHALL). A pox upon it, all... ESPECIALLY printers and their inky-skanky-ilk - who can all go wirelessly, fuck themselves. This is an image of something that used to calculate. By itself. Now it's an uncalculating piece of d'art, decomposing peacefully by a lake. The planning of its obsolescence didn't foresee this as: Incalculable.
