Post-Industrial Vacationland (After Aldous Huxley)

Responding to the notion that the machine age would bring the newly liberated population a time of great leisure, Aldous Huxley — the author of Brave New World — suggested that humans would in fact experience depression and boredom when machines replaced their jobs. Glynn creates an image of the classic, picturesque ruin with a grid of cast-iron columns removed from the museum's renovated buildings. Modified stainless steel hospital stretches-cum-lounge chairs, placed under tanning lamps, propose a post-industrial vacation wasteland, complete with stainless steel tumbleweeds.
