Eroding Tech Art

The Latest Daniel Arsham Art Involves Decaying Music Devices

— June 16, 2014 — Art & Design
Daniel Arsham art is well-known around the globe. The artist rose further to fame recently following a trip to Pharrell's 'G I R L' art exhibition at the Galerie Perrotin in Paris. Collaborating with Pharrell was definitely a career highlight, but now he is back and gaining even more credit on his own with his 'The Future Is Always Now' series.

Sticking to his signature aesthetics, Arsham's works depict musical and technological instruments that have fallen to ashes -- literally. Do you remember the Sony Walkman? Well, the once popular piece of technology ,along with others like it, are the main focus of the artists new exhibition.

Using materials like glacial rock dust, volcanic glass, hydrostone, rose quartz and steel, he crafted fossilized versions of the tech devices. He really sheds light on the fact that they may soon be considered archaic.
Trend Themes
1. Decaying Technology Art - The trend of creating art through the decay of technology, highlighting the inevitable obsolescence of our favorite tech devices.
2. Fossilized Art - A trend of creating art that appears as if it has been fossilized or petrified, playing with the perception of time and age.
3. Signature Aesthetics Art - The trend of artists creating works with signature aesthetics, allowing viewers to recognize the creators unique style across different exhibits.
Industry Implications
1. Fine Arts Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunities exist for artists to create new art forms that utilize decaying technology and other unusual materials like fossils or minerals, and for art galleries to explore the emerging decaying tech art trend with innovative marketing strategies.
2. Tech Industry - With the popularity of decaying tech art, the tech industry has the opportunity to invest in and develop new products that will last longer and will not easily be rendered obsolete, thus increasing profitability and environmental sustainability.
3. Museum Industry - Museums can capitalize on the trend of signature aesthetics by curating exhibits that showcase artists with unique identifying features, which can attract art collectors to visit their galleries, and partner with innovative artists to develop exhibits featuring new art forms like decaying tech art.
