Integrated Tech Solutions

Description

A concept album about an organization offering ‘lifestyle-and industry-specific applications designed to curate a desired multi-experience’, ‘Integrated Tech Solutions’ picks apart the charlatan language that hears app inventors put themselves on continuums starting with cavemen and continuing through da Vinci. On ‘Mindful Solutionism’, the wheel evolves seamlessly into modern agriculture-and then into atomic bombs, Agent Orange, cigarettes, and surveillance cameras. In a rare moment of transparency, the engineers Aes give voice to sum up this spiral in just a few words: ‘We cannot be trusted with the stuff that we come up with’.
