tend to think there’s nothing cooler than old computers. Rocky Bergen, a visual artist from Canada, has dedicated years creating paper replicas of them. He manages to work up visceral recreations of retro hardware that look almost exactly like the real thing.
Looking through this portfolio of work is like being transported to another era. Bergen says he uses something called a bone folder— “The first papercraft I did was of an Amstrad CPC 464 because of the shape. It was basically a box and I figured that couldn’t be too hard. I spend most of my time behind the keyboard so I wasn’t sure I would be able to assemble it but I had everything cut and assembled I was pretty happy with my little Amstrad,” Bergen said. “I have never seen one in real life but once I had it tiny one on the table it just felt a bit more tangible.
