Usually somewhat hidden in location so as not to reset by accident. To reset seems to imply a fresh start, a new beginning. To reset a game, a device, a place, the day, a moment. There is a permanence to the idea – are you sure you want to do this? It is fraught for this reason; on the other side, a chance to restart can promise hope and opportunity, a fresh start.&nbsp;The term reset has some uneasy associations in covid times, ‘the great reset’ a phrase used by technocrats and populists alike to describe the coordinated policy and monetary response to the coronavirus pandemic. The reset button here tries to represent all these things: subtle, unassuming, hard to locate, multi-faceted, 2022. Shown here in State of Play, curated by Brooke Benington at Canary Wharf, London.

The dimensions are the same as the Argos catalogue of which I am a big fan. Just like an Argos catalogue or an exhibition catalogue, they can be used on a book shelf, coffee table or to prop something up... In 2020 Argos announced that they will cease printing their catalogue, which at its height was the most widely printed publication in Europe.

It happened just as we reached the age when playgrounds no longer interested us but the iPhone didn’t yet exist. As the newest commodity fad it quickly became central to friendship circles, and lunchtime myth- making, enabling us to access entertainment as an escape from classroom reality. In reflection, theTama (as I remember it referred to) was an excellent companion for us lonely kids that needed attention, feedback, and responses that we weren’t receiving in a real life setting. Perhaps Tama was an antidote, or an omen, to the logic of late capitalism permeating everything—even our intimate relationships. The Tamagotchi was the world’s first virtual pet, a simple 3-buttoned portable egg-shaped device that attached to a key ring. Not that any eight year old necessarily had keys for a house on which to attach their pet, but the indication symbolised ownership of a space and of something other than ourselves. Tamagotchi enchanted us. We shared strategies of how to best look after the strange low-res amoebic cyborg creature. We minded each other’s pet as temporary relief from the duties and responsibilities it demanded. We gave our pets names. Though simulated, we related to it as if it was a real living organism and created our own community around it. The interactive creature needed to be fed, played with, given medicine as well as have their poo cleaned up. Using a human-like vocabulary, it mimicked the activity and corporeal upkeep of any biological being. It beeped sporadically when it wanted your attention, and at times, without reason, refused your care just like any other living dependant. Indoctrinated as a player, you assumed the role as caregiver and in turn were required to be a vigilant. Even though the labours were menial, your input grew your Tama and its image as well as its personality, health, and lifespan. Tama didn’t resemble any particular natural organism in its form; part animal, part human, part machine, part plant, and part blob. Tamagotchi’s identity was based on its social and emotional relationship with you, and your role was to never kill your Tama. I’m pretty sure many egg-shaped objects exist in drawers somewhere. I cannot help but reflect on the conditions of its wide appeal and popularity. Tamagotchi was born of an increasingly globalised world, an age defined by increased movement of people and goods and the proliferation of image-based media, the last years of a pre-internet age. Like a smartphone now, Tamagotchi was a prosthesis attached to us without us needing to be located to a home or a place. Most pets in our real lives are unable to do this, as they need specific environmental conditions or territories to relate to. It was grounding to bond with a synthetic life form existing just as much in the virtual and the real as in artifice and nature. Tamagotchi’s identity is a fluctuating assemblage—a scattering of shifting subjectivities (much like we as humans are now). Recently, I humoured myself into buying one. Like many in our mid-thirties I am not having children and would like a dog for company. A Tama made an appealing prospect, as it was low cost, gave me no allergies, could stay with me and would fit in a small flat. I was embarrassed when it beeped in a meeting with someone I had never met before, and upon whom I was attempting to make a good impression. I fessed up and they too were nostalgic and quite disbelieving that they still existed. One or two friends have also said that they wanted to dig out their old companions and reboot them.
