We are a public humanities project that aims to explore a new concept, the Analog Anthropocene, through engagement with amateur and professional photographers, professors, students, and the Detroit community.

Visit our exhibit page to explore materials from the Analog Anthropocene exhibit, which opened physically on May 16, 2024 in the atrium of the Wayne State University Undergraduate Library.

Visit our gallery page to see the full collection of works that participating photographers have created, and leave a comment to let us know what you think.

We encourage you to visit our blog page and our Instagram account to follow along as we explore the meaning of the Anthropocene, analog technology, and humanity’s material and cultural impact on the planet.

If you would like to contribute something of your own to the project, please send us an email or DM us on Instagram. We welcome contributions of all kinds!
