Planned Obscolescence – PV

What happens to the things we’re told to replace, upgrade and throw away?
Norwich-based multimedia artist Tristan Burfield brings together Hannah Ayres, Michael Ridge & Liza Read for a group exhibition exploring technology, waste, consumption and the possibilities of giving discarded things a second life.
Expect photography, installation, recycled materials, interactive sculpture, noise machines and obsolete technology — all asking us to look twice at what we throw away.
