Riley Walz’s work reflects a deep nostalgia for the early days of the internet, using projects like Bop Spotter and IMG_0001 to revive that spirit of creativity.
Walz sees his projects as a way to tap into the wistfulness for the early Web 2.0 era, aiming for fun amidst a landscape that's far more serious and divided.
He acknowledges that while his projects are throwbacks, they represent a longing for simpler times in the tech landscape—a reminder to create for fun.
The nostalgia seen in Walz’s projects connects with the current culture, indicating a desire for joy in creation rather than the contentious climate of modern internet interaction.
