Clou ded
Join us in “the cloud” to revisit the dream aesthetic that kicked off the new millennium.
Inspired by 3D avatars and pixel dolls created by digital artists in the early 00s, these virtual creations allowed anyone to dress up in the hottest styles of the time. From organic “blob” shapes in futuristic chrome to endless accessories in translucent neon colors, these designs reflected the cutting-edge technology of the era.
Virtual reality is a self-crated form of chosen reality. Therefore it exists.
- Joan Lowery Nixcon
Over 20 years in, the innovative tech in unique designs has been replaced by uniform greige minimalism and the omnipresent cloud. Remote servers in warehouses with underground fiber optic cables constantly run to receive and transmit information in seconds. All of this is kept out of sight, allowing us to overlook the high electric and water consumption required to keep it running, the noise pollution, and the dangerous conditions miners and production workers face when handling rare metals needed for today’s everyday tech. With all that’s been uploaded and solely created digitally in the cloud, there’s a looming dark age of knowledge as access to cloud-based files is being revoked, file types are no longer supported, and with no physical presence, who’s to say it ever existed at all?
