Blending architecture, design, and technology, a visual tour
through futures past via the objects we have replaced, left behind,
and forgotten. So-called extinct objects are those that were
imagined but were never in use, or that existed but are now
unused-superseded, unfashionable, or simply forgotten. Extinct
gathers together an exceptional range of artists, curators,
architects, critics, and academics, including Hal Foster, Barry
Bergdoll, Deyan Sudjic, Tacita Dean, Emily Orr, Richard Wentworth,
and many more. In eighty-five essays, contributors nominate
"extinct" objects and address them in a series of short, vivid,
sometimes personal accounts, speaking not only of obsolete
technologies, but of other ways of thinking, making, and
interacting with the world. Extinct is filled with curious,
half-remembered objects, each one evoking a future that never came
to pass. It is also a visual treat, full of interest and delight.
