Do you remember the sun…?, investigates the persistent influence of gold on the human experience.

The pursuit of gold intoxicates and possesses its seeker; human conquest, annihilation, and dominance have all resulted from its cultivation. Before the 1970s, our cultural and societal relationship with gold consisted of symbolic adornment and financial capital. During the seventies, however, the consumer electronics industry began to engineer digital systems that required circuitry to be malleable, non-corrosive, and efficient at conducting low currents of electricity. As a result, the industry started incorporating gold-plated circuitry into its products. From this point on, gold expanded its influence on civilization as a utilitarian material. Gold’s immortal aura, once reserved for the Gods and the ruling class, was now infiltrating the domestic space protecting the functionality of electronic gadgets.
