The compleat Wired future artifacts gallery 02009

Picking up where we left off in collecting tech monthly Wired's 'Found' artifacts-from-the-future into a year by year gallery: this is the 02009 collection.

Some readers may recall that the series was surreptitiously euthanised in mid-08, only to be resurrected shortly thereafter by popular demand. Each post-revival edition has been accompanied by a photoshop competition to help generate ideas for an upcoming theme. So for each instance below, where applicable I've included a link to the contest which fed into it.






[happy meal] | Wired 17.01 | Prior photoshop contest in 16.10









[cubicle] | Wired 17.02 | Prior photoshop contest in 16.11













[truck stop] | Wired 17.03 | Prior photoshop contest in 16.12

[Wired 17.05 did not include 'Found'. The corresponding photoshop contest in 17.02 was on the future of magic shows.]








[chewing gum] | Wired 17.06 | Prior photoshop contest in 17.03








[birth control] | Wired 17.07 | Prior photoshop contest in 17.04

[Wired 17.11 did not include 'Found'. The corresponding photoshop contest in 17.08 was on game shows. Likewise for 17.12; the corresponding photoshop contest in 17.09 was on amusement park rides.]

Stand by for the 02010 collection in the new year...
