Techno-Optimism, Reflected

Somewhere between the dial tone and the millennium, we believed the future would be soft, round, and mirror-finished. Computers came in candy colors. Interfaces looked wet. Every surface promised that tomorrow had already been detailed, waxed, and parked in the driveway.

CHROMEHEART 2000 is a preservation society for that feeling. Not the irony — the sincerity. The conviction that a new century was a gift you unwrapped, and inside was a translucent purple everything.

We polish, therefore we hope. Every artifact in this archive is buffed until it reflects the person looking at it — because that was always the point. The future was never chrome. The future was you, in the chrome.
