Crumb

Print media has been on the rise for a comeback in 2024 as online content is not as immersive or engaging as print content. Physical media arouses the senses of touch, smell, and hearing (Nyindodo, 2024). With a focus on the golden decade of physical media, Crumb is a kooky modernised take on the 1960s and the physical media produced at this time. Crumb pays homage to the tactile encounters of Polaroids, DVDs, CDs, vinyl records, and curated book and magazine collections that formerly shaped our society and beyond. The vivid backdrop of the 1960s lends each interaction a timeless beauty that stands in stark contrast to the overabundance of digital content that permeates modern society (Meyer, 2022). By diving into the aesthetics and cultural significance of 1960s media, "Crumb" inspires a rediscovering of joy in the analog, cultivating an appreciation for the stories hidden within each item. Audiences will be reminded of the beauty in nostalgia and the ways that these material objects have influenced our collective memory as they navigate this dollhouse.
