Obsolete phones. Abandoned plotters. Discarded screens. Jean-Philippe Côté salvages technological refuse and reanimates it through artisanal 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. They showcase distorted and liminal reflections of visitors that probe the gap between who we are and how we present ourselves in a world shaped by technology. Uchronie is a fabulation machine and technological oracle where an interactor’s voice through an old intercom generates speculative narratives and portraits on discarded iPhones, revealing machine stereotypes and archaeology of technological residue.
