Future Artifacts
Future Artifacts is a series of public art projects that are designed to celebrate high technology in general and specifically computer technology. The large monumental painted steel sculptures were aesthetically inspired by computer technology, especially quantum computers. These computer inspired sculptures refer to computers that may exist in the future but on a scale that suggests that they may have some other more mysterious and advanced function.
Most of these public art gathering places are designed to be solar powered and equipped with portals through which people can charge their electronic devices, and in some cases access a wide range of sophisticated information directly through the sculptures.
In most cases the sculptures of various sizes and designs can be placed almost anywhere onto sites-specific foundations.
These monumental machines that anyone can interact with, refer to totems of the future that people can gather around to gain great knowledge, which they can share with the rest of humanity. This is public functional art that goes beyond arbitrary shapes. These shapes are unexpected but at the same time appear to be purposeful, even though those who encounter them can only guess at what their full function might be.
