Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be, the old joke goes, and chances are that if we were ever bumped back into an 8-bit world, stripped of our touch screens, broadband and social networks, then we soon find plenty to complain about. The premise of photographer John Short’s new monograph is to assemble 100 of the computing ‘icons’ that underpin our current and future digital generation, reminiscing with a fond smile.
Short eschews a clichéd approach in favour of moodier, more atmospheric imagery of these machines, treating them as pieces of industrial design rather than focus on the quirks and characteristics of their archaic operating systems. These are the Model T Fords of the computing industry, some of which were produced in the millions, but almost completely overlooked due to their ubiquity.
