HOLO Collectors Edition
INDEX
2021
A poster-sized portal into the year when generative AI burst onto the scene, cryptocurrency and NFTs sent markets into a frenzy, and Silicon Valley billionaires rode rockets into orbit: the HOLO INDEX charts some of 2021’s most memorable moments in art, science, technology, and culture.
Availability
All the (critical tech and culture) news that’s fit to print: the HOLO INDEX foregrounds fine-grained details from the wild 2021 news cycle. It (re)presents key events, facts, figures, and artifacts from the 674 entries added to the HOLO news timeline that year. Ephemeral moments are frozen in enduring print in a playful composition of wordplay, data points, economic flows, corporate malfeasance, vintage tech, and some of GPT-3’s greatest hits. Each eclectic nugget of info is accompanied by a four-number code, which can be input into an online interface to jump directly to the original news post.
