Anechoic chamber, France Telecom Laboratories, Lannion, France Possibly 1989 - 2006

Lewis Baltz's "Anechoic chamber, France Telecom Laboratories, Lannion, France" is a photograph from his series *The New Industrial Parks*, which documents the evolution of architecture and industry in the late 20th century. This particular image, taken between 1989 and 2006, captures a stark, minimalist space designed to absorb all sound, creating an unsettling emptiness. The room is completely lined with sound-absorbing panels, creating a geometric pattern that draws the viewer's eye towards the empty space at its center. This photograph, characteristic of Baltz's work, explores the relationship between humanity and technology in a rapidly changing world.
