...away from the recognition in these objects of human involvement." For example, KitchenAid's new Pro Line is designed to reinforce the notion that it's the cook, not the machine, that's making the difference in the kitchen. The displays on the espresso maker are analog, and the handles are robust and chunky. Still, it functions like high technology. This fusion of nostalgic design and up-to-the-minute functionality--often dubbed retro modernism--is "the strongest trend in all of the creative industries at the moment," says Serralta...

...Curious George store and so on, right? Great. Now look up, above the ground level. What’s there? No idea, eh? Me neither. I had to go look for myself.

It’s the closest I’ve heard mainstream hip-hop get to house music, where minimal “jack tracks” work more like DJ tools than as complete pieces of music, and the human presence is fully mechanized in between pulses of the drum machine.
