Creative director Daniel Roseberry used old phones, calculators, wires, motherboards, and CDs as embellishments, tapping into the Y2K nostalgia trend. The pieces serve as a warning of an inhuman, robot-powered future while recontextualizing tech waste from a simpler era, reflecting on the cultural and social significance of outdated technology.
