Heritage in Code: Where Craft Meets Computation

An immersive exploration of value, memory, and the overlooked.

Disposable Materialism reimagines discarded objects as delicate, thought-provoking sculptures—inviting viewers to confront the beauty hidden within the throwaway. Blending tactile textures with digital refinement, this project fuses real-world materials—acrylic-painted canvas, textiles, wood, cardboard, handmade papers—with machine learning to breathe new life into what was once forgotten.

Curated over 25 years, these textures form a rich archive of human touch, now recontextualized through the lens of digital artistry. In this fusion, artist Randy Kart challenges traditional notions of worth, permanence, and consumption—offering a quiet critique of modern materialism.

More than a collection, Disposable Materialism is a meditation on transience, environmental impact, and the stories objects carry. It invites you to reflect on what we discard, why we discard it, and what can be revealed when we look again—closer, slower, deeper.

Experience the fragile beauty of the disposable—where material memory meets machine insight, and the ephemeral becomes enduring.

Randy Kart's artistry in 'Freedom of Information' offers a captivating journey through the essence of humanity, exploring the vivid tableau of childhood where imagination set the boundaries of exploration. Using simple materials like newspapers and bills, we once crafted airplanes and kites—each piece a manifestation of creativity and the unfettered spirit of youth, letting raw, innocent information catch the wind. Yet, today's digital realm poses the question: What does freedom truly signify when our personal data, the beacon of our identity, stands vulnerable?
