I crocheted a computer room! And there is a month left to see it at The Delaware Contemporary Museum! where should it travel to next? more info below Can I Please Eat In The Computer Room Tonight is now on display at The Delaware Contemporary Museum for their winter/spring Diner Table exhibition. it is composed of four vintage, yes vintage, hand crocheted computer game screens (sims2, solitaire win screen, minesweeper, and neopets marketplace) and a working computer from 1987. can i please eat in the computer room tonight explores the positive and transformative view of tech from a preteens perspective growing up in the early aughts. this installation is a memorial to this fever dream of a time period where you could only access the internet in a specifically designated computer room, often decorated in brown hues and overstuffed with knickknacks and office supplies. this space, an escape to another part of your life, often felt like an oasis to explore who you were becoming for the first time without the microscope and confinements of adults and societal expectations. swapping sandboxes for CD-ROM games and mixed tapes. inside jokes with friends in chat rooms and staying up until way too late messaging your crush in your own secret language. taking selfies on the front facing camera and looking at yourself in a slightly different way for the first time. learning about yourself and the world all from the glow of a little square box in the middle of a little square room. #tech #nostalgia #crochet #installationart
