Relics of the Signal Age

After the Transmission. Future Archaeology of the Network Age.

Every age leaves behind objects that outlive the people who made them. Their purpose is forgotten long before they disappear. What remains is shape, scale, and mystery. The Signal Age is no different. Its towers, antennas, cables, satellites, and machines stand long after their voices have gone silent.

In these prints, the tools of communication become relics. Cell towers rise like sacred monuments. Radar dishes resemble observatories built to watch the heavens. Fiber optic cables emerge from the earth like ancient roots. Server farms become buried chambers. Magnets, clocks, billboards, substations, and weather stations are no longer understood as technology. They have entered legend. New names are given to them. New meanings grow around them. Ritual replaces function.

The woodcut gives these structures the weight of old stories. Its bold cuts reduce each form to what cannot be taken away. Black and white leave little room for distraction. What remains feels older than the present and newer than memory. The marks of the knife echo the passage of time, wearing away detail until only the essential form survives.

Relics of the Signal Age is an imagined archaeology of the future. It asks what becomes of knowledge when the machines that carried it are gone. Every generation inherits the world in fragments. We explain what we cannot understand, and in time those explanations become myths of their own.
