According to the Academy, “Tech Art captures a unique side of the artifacts of motion picture technology: their beauty as objects. While most may see merely function—a microphone, a splicer, projector—Gonzales uncovers dramatic shapes, distinctive textures and colors, hidden details of craftsmanship and design; in short, the remarkable aesthetics of these otherwise forgotten machines of the trade.”
