TECHNOIA expresses (un)certain paranoia towards the ever-updating and ever-redundant electronic technology. Consumer electronic gadgets carry a factory slated pre-defined expiration date as part of the corporate scheme of planned obsolescence. Parallel to the hi-tech product development, we find in media art the existence of DIY (Do it yourself) and DIWO (Do it with others) communities who sniff and snap the electronic trash for recycling, creating their own versions of chiputers and boards. Open source minded, they share resources, code and knowledge.
