Dead Typologies

“Dead Typologies” is about bringing back the joy of using multimedia in our homes. In today’s society, shared experiences, caring and productivity are exchanged for a constantly attention-seeking, individualistic mobile phone.
Big Tech companies have turned our attention into a commodity, a job we work 24/7, and as payment, if you’re lucky, you get a little entertainment. With the help of these solid, permanent objects, the user gets back the presence, joy and power in their home.
