Aurelien's innovative series showcases retro-inspired handheld devices designed to evoke the nostalgia of the 90s and 2000s classic software and services. Using ChatGPT's image generation tool, he and designer Sarang Sheth explore an alternate universe where popular platforms like Winamp, Limewire, and MSN Messenger transform into tangible gadgets. The designs celebrate the era's skeuomorphic interfaces and the cultural experience of downloading media. While some of these devices rekindle memories, they also highlight how past digital experiences can inform today's tech and creativity.
The 90s and 2000s were fantastic, with skeuomorphic designs and mostly free media, creating a golden age for consumers to enjoy digital experiences.
What if retro services like Winamp and Limewire had physical gadgets? Aurelien's creations evoke nostalgia by reimagining beloved software as standalone devices.
