Analog

Timeless technology

Analog instead of digital! This wonderful collection celebrates the timeless appeal of tactile experience and real-time interaction. Comprehensive and cross-generational. The analog renaissance is in full swing and includes not only record players and film cameras, but also transistor radios, camcorders, mercury thermometers, Xerox devices and compasses. Beautifully designed and packed with information and illustrations, this compendium of analog objects pays homage to the way we used to communicate with each other: how we listened to music, told the time, wrote a letter, watched a movie and took a picture. Divided into the categories of sound, image, information and communication, the exhibition presents 250 objects that revolutionized communication, entertainment and creative expression in their day - and have been rediscovered in our time. And it tells a multitude of stories: which companies have made the greatest contribution to design, how music formats have developed and what formats of photo cameras there are. The book is not only an inspiring guide for analogue enthusiasts, designers and collectors, but also a fascinating cultural history of everyday objects that span generations and stand the test of time.
