Gizmo
GIZMO brings back the nostalgia of a time in which the development of technology and science was being welcomed with open arms.
GIZMO is inspired by the American magazine Popular Mechanics full of special hobbies, blueprints, futuristic vistas and everyday household mechanics and mail order ads. Three GIZMO subscribers struggle constantly with the unwieldy subject of appliances and prototypes. Looking for practical solutions to make everyday life more bearable, they make alarming discoveries.
