DSL Microfilter. I already posted about the spares for this on Day 78, the first day of adding the tag sea monster, but long before the Alt Titles/Untitled flights of fancy came into being.
Fast-forward to a couple of weeks ago, the internet and phone (yes a landline!) at the studio/office went down. After an extremely unreasonable wait time from Telus repair – with a business account no less- they came and repaired it. That went smoothly enough. They’re only a telecommunications company – why is getting in touch with them so hard? Aah — but there were outages elsewhere that day.
Anyhow back to the cable thing-a-ma-bob. The Telus repair man was very friendly and once he negotiated the scary room in the basement in this heritage building, it was all back up and running.
Before he left, he told me he had replaced this adapter. He picked it up and deftly tossed it into the garbage, pronouncing it obsolete. Little did he know how much glee that word would bring to me. As soon as he left I quickly scooped it out of the garbage. It deserves an honourable goodbye here.

Alt-title: Untitled Object No. 223 For Filtering Out Futile Signals
I feel like I should do a post about this Alt-Title stuff. Until then, the usual nod of appreciation to Richard, and John, for inspiring the Alt-Title Untitled post nonsense, and to Ben for the jokes format. I hope there’s someone out there who knows html and appreciates the extra element of the “joke” (no pun intended)
Predictably I love the whiteness of the first two pictures. Like the bin picture a lot too but for different reasons (especially like the way it shows you’re prepared to rummage about in the bin – well pick stuff up from the top of the rubbish anyway – for the sake of documenting the obsolescent).
Thanks Ann. Glad you like them. ProjectObso knows no bounds (yet) in terms of what I am prepared to do:)
Love that final shot for its cruelty and humour. The other two are beautiful – there’s a wonderful sense of longing there.
Thanks Richard. Really glad you enjoy them.
