current description
UnattendedVaporware is inspired by security theater [the practice of investing in countermeasures intended to provide the feeling of improved security while doing little or nothing to actually achieve it], looping unattended luggage announcements at airports, and the idea of vaporware, a type of software “never actually released nor officially cancelled.”
early description
UnattendedVapoware began as proto-typological proxies, combining ideas of iconic visual typologies (the rolling suitcase form) as labeled paper prototype decoys implying symbolic things "never actually released nor officially cancelled." Building on this initial sculptural form, limited in distribution by its own physicality, unattendedVaporware is now invisible/visible "speculation on a global scale." In each implementation of this project, a network of unattendedVaporware augments are situated in specific geolocations.
