Suppose the Y2K glitch crashes the network of networks and renders our machines useless. What would we do with all the defunct gear that once kept us wired?
CMY2K, a guide to the new millennium created by John Klotnia and Brett Traylor of the New York-based design firm Pentagram (www.pentagram.com), offers several inventive ways to repurpose your tech accessories. These range from planter boxes made of disks to a hollowed-out laptop as cosmetics case to computer-cable shoelaces.
The guide - "a little goof" created for Pentagram client Mohawk Paper Mills - is intended to demonstrate how well a certain stock of paper responds to four-color, digital printing techniques. But with its supervivid images and witty captions, CMY2K succeeds in making its meta-point: As a medium, paper will endure - and not just because it's Y2K compliant.
