Obsolete phones. Abandoned plotters. Discarded screens. Jean-Philippe Côté salvages technological refuse and reanimates it through custom software: "carefully coded, deliberately hijacked, or driven by machine serendipity." His interactive installations offer playful, poetic encounters while raising sharper questions about e-waste, authorship and identity. When visitors approach Uchronie, they can press an old intercom button to verbally identify an object of importance to them. Leveraging this input – and a surreptitiously captured image of the user – the system invents and recites a speculative and dystopic narrative about their future with that item. At the conclusion, a surreal AI-generated portrait is displayed on the screens of thirteen obsolete iPhones. Their clichéd, distinctly AI aesthetics highlight the shortcomings of current generative models, whilst foreshadowing the radical societal changes that are forthcoming.
