Stedelijk Museum to Debut 'Circuits' Installation by Experimental Jetset on July 12
Stedelijk Museum will present Circuits, an installation by Amsterdam design collective Experimental Jetset, from July 12. The work comprises sixteen wall paintings mounted in the round frames near the museum’s historic staircase, each depicting an extinct physical medium such as 35mm film reels, LaserDiscs, cassette tapes and CDs. Circuits forms part of Experimental Jetset’s long-running Lost Formats Preservation Society project, originally launched in 1999 with a publication in Emigre magazine.
The Signal
The installation underscores how physical carriers once shaped content length and format, contrasting that era with today’s cloud-based data storage. For curators and institutions focused on design history, it demonstrates how site-specific commissions can reinterpret archival research within existing architecture. Collectors tracking graphic design collectives gain a public record of Experimental Jetset’s ongoing examination of media obsolescence and its cultural implications.
