recycling and critical making practices. Founder at Recyclism Hacklab
and author of the essay "Hardware hacking and recycling strategies in an
age of technological obsolescence"<br><br>----<br><br>What happens in a
technological context where a device becomes obsolete within a very
short time? A culture of obsolescence takes place, as regards
technological devices and the thinking and behavior of people alike. <br><br>These
are just some of the central themes of the study carried out by the
artist, researcher and college lecturer Benjamin Gaulon.<br><br>His work
is also known as “Recyclism” as his works used to be labelled. The
