WHAT’S NEW?
NOSTALGIA BOY IS A PROJECT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE PAST YEAR….
Nostalgia Boy is a multimedia digital experience in the form of concept brand and net art website. The website design, as well as the physical merchandise on display is based on characters and lore created in reference to the intense nostalgia for video games, toys, and cartoons during the early-mid 2000s. I hope that as people navigate through the space, and interact with the website itself, they will begin to think more thoughtfully about the current state of the Internet, and technology as a whole in today’s society. The piece is not only a nod to the memories I cherish most from my childhood, but also a reference to the culture that has surrounded collecting memorabilia from the past. Nostalgia Boy also serves as a commentary on this culture and the way that commercial industries have capitalized on nostalgia to the point where life has been nearly stripped out of it completely.
