ALT/1977: WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS by Alex Varanese
“After what feels like centuries of hyping my mysterious “time travel project”, I’ve finally posted it: ALT/1977: WE ARE NOT TIME TRAVELERS is here.
This project is undoubtedly my most conceptually ambitious work to date. It comprises 14 full-sized, 18x24” prints that explore the awesomely absurd idea of time travelers who return to the late 1970’s to release the technology of 2010 and dominate the world of consumer electronics. I re-imagined four modern products as if they existed over 30 years ago and tried to bring them to life through fake print ads, abstract glamour shots, and even a characteristically pretentious type treatment or two.
The retro thing has been a popular trend among my ilk for a while now, and as someone who’s benefited greatly from riding that wave myself, I figured it was time to contribute something that ups the ante a little. I guess what I’m trying to say is, there’s retro, and then there’s time travel.”

Alex [Michael] Varanese: Artist & illustrator (& funny guy)
“Is native to the bay area. Thinks john hughes is bigger than jesus. Is an ardent believer in hard determinism, and wishes he were better friends with fate. Is guilty of an overuse—but never misuse—of the word “literally”. Spends nights and weekends trying to repair his time machine. Draws upon a limitless supply of cheeky quips designed specifically for ironic post-hipster posturing. Likes red more than you do.”
