ReFunct Media by Benjamin Gaulon
Benjamin Gaulon is an artist, researcher and art collage lecturer, who focuses his study and work on planned obsolescence, consumerism and disposable society, between other topics. In his piece of work ReFunct media he makes multimedia installations with obsolete electronic devices.
The relation between his work and scarcity is that he tinkers with, from my point of view, one of the main causes of scarcity: the fact of consuming too much, wasting too early and too often, and keeping on consuming resources while we could use what we already have.
The relation between his work and creativity is that he is creative building kinetic sculptures using obsolete devices.
