§ 01The premise

Taxidermy preserved what nature left behind. We preserve what progress leaves behind.

1600s

Cabinets of curiosity. Collectors fill rooms with shells, bones and specimens.

1800s

Taxidermy & the museum. Nature is mounted, labeled and put behind glass.

1900s

The personal device. Radios, Walkmans, Game Boys and phones move into our pockets.

Now

Techsidermy. The devices we outgrew become specimens.
