.unpacking tech systems & the machine paradox
Over the past two weeks, we engage in two consecutive workshops: Unpacking Intelligent Machines and The Machine Paradox. These experiences allowed me to look at everyday electronic devices from a completely different perspective.
.01 week one: unpacking intelligent machines
At the beginning of the first week, our group selected two discarded electronic devices to dismantle: an HP LED screen and a computer tower.
The process of opening them and observing the components inside objects we use daily was really fascinating. We carefully disassembled each device, I documented all internal parts, and we created together a detailed data sheet noting which elements were still functioning and which were not.
To our surprise, many components were still in excellent condition.
Here you can find the Detailed forensic report.
And here the Component data sheet.
