Obsolescence and the Culture of Human Invention will cover a three-year investigation into language, technology and artistic production in the context of digital media. We will research, document and produce interdisciplinary artwork influenced by the culture and language of machines and obsolescence. This research / creation project engages a team of contemporary media artists, graduate students and authors with backgrounds in literature and cultural studies. The relevance of an interdisciplinary approach to the creative process and production with digital technology is essential to this initiative. Digital workstations and the multidisciplinary applications that artists access through this technology have significantly reconfigured the studio practice of artists. This research / creation project will be approached through an interdisciplinary exploration of art, language and technology.
