#aestheticmovement

As a member of a collective devoted to retrofuturism, I don’t agree with seeing it as the ghost of an unfulfilled utopia. For us, old media, aesthetics, and tools are more than hauntological melancholy — they’re like a kind of ouija board. We summon the spirit of the future through old tools once used by artists to create new forms of creativity. ❤
