Analog Man – Joe Walsh

I’m sitting here trying to explain this theme of my art as I expand on it even more vividly for the BIG(D)ESIGN 2012 Conference.  As much as I love technology, there is an emotional rebellion taking place against the slick pristine digital world we are immersed in.  That’s what I am expressing through my Art.  Joe just explained it in this song!

Of course, we know that Joe is not really alergic to digital technology and neither am I. To suggest that is to overlook the obvious.  However, I think we are both responding to the same undercurrent.

Remember before digital when phones had real round dials and watches had analog faces. Oh. Wait.

This affection for Analog Machines won’t slow down digital technology, but I imagine it is sure to affect the direction the digital goes.
