Examples of Artwork Made from Obsolete Technology: A Relationship Between Art and the Appartus3/30/2017 In these works of art, the machine is made beautiful. Technology is not useful for its function anymore but useful to create works of art that, to some, may be aesthetically pleasing or even "beautiful." I don't think I'd say this is an experience of the beautiful for me, or that I see these works as anything I would marvel at in a gallery, but they are interesting and impressive nonetheless. When technology loses its usefulness, artists still want it to be of the world and in their work. They are feeding off of the energy and interest of the masses that leans toward more innovation, more machinery and new, new, new in the art world. Many of the works, which come from 20 examples of art made from abandoned technology in a Weburbanist article, are sculptures, which is interesting to me.

This is a running theme throughout my montage.
