Your thoughts about Post-digital design?

[Melooon]

Im not sure if post-digital is the right term; or maybe it should be like.. digi-analog? ANYWAY, its a focus on design that is not fully digital but is intended to be used in a digital world.

One example I came across today is this nixie clock on Techmoan (skip to 6 mins to actually seeee it)

The clock is very analogue; but it also has Wifi and GPS features. Im always interested by things that combine opposites and create unusual new hybrids. However there are plenty of pros and cons; the biggest con in my mind is always practicality; Im always conflicted by practicality, aesthetics and the personal philosophies I have related to both.

What are your thoughts on post-digital design and how do you think it could/couldn't fit into your life as an enthusiast of unusual counter culture things (if you're on this forum I assume you are that )

I'm not sure if this counts, but I love seeing the things people have been doing with Vinyl records since it's revival. Like making them heavier to improve sound and reduce warping, and even something Techmoan also covered, where people were able to get short black & white videos playing from them!

I've also been hearing about "LPD" displays, which said to be are spiritual successors to CRTs due to using a lot of the same technologies. It would be so cool if we can see them being used in a more consumer level and even with our monitors!

I think thats totally part of it, because without streaming platforms making music super convenient; then no one would really be interested in exploring and investing in vinyl; its a great example of taking the pressure off something to allow it to grow, which is something that I think people forget you can do a lot!

Woah I have never heard of Laser Phosphor Displays before! If they have the ability to capture that glow and brightness you get from CRTs it would be really cool!

I always thought nixie tubes were cool, been looking to get into circuit bending. don't really have the space for it atm.
