This artifact is linked to the Vancouver-based 3D television animation scene that emerged in the 1990s and 2000s. It is associated with the digitization of Canadian culture and the world’s first 3D animated digital television series. It reflects the evolving relationship between art and technology. The aesthetic qualities of ReBoot were new and unique and reflected both the possibilities and limitations of computer animation software in its early stages of development. It is part of the development of 3D animation software that made Canada a world-leader in the field of television, movie and computer animation. As a cartoon, ReBoot reflects themes, ideas and values that were meaningful to Canadians at the time of its creation, and likely influenced a generation of Canadians that grew up watching the adventures of Guardian Bob and his companions. Cet objet est lié à la série d'animation en 3D de télévision qui est apparu à Vancouver dans les années 1990s et 2000s. Il est associé à la digitalisons de la culture canadienne et la première série de télévision animer en 3D. Il représente l'évolution de la relation entre l'art et la technologie. Les qualités de ReBoot esthétiquement nouvelles et uniques et étais une réflexion des possibilités et limites des logiciels d'animation au début de leur développement. Le développement de logiciel en 3D a placé le Canada parmi les meilleurs au monde dans le domaine d'animation de télévision, cinéma et ordinateur. Comme dessin, ReBoot représente les idées, thèmes et valeurs qui étaient importantes aux Canadiens durant son époque et a su influencer une génération de canadiens en grandissant avec l'émission et les aventures de Guardian Bob et ces compagnons.

Cet objet a été construit pour donner de l'accès à intérieur de l'ordinateur en même temps de protéger le système contre les particules de poussière.
Technical
The Silicon Graphics SGI Indigo computer was produced over a three-year span between 1991 and 1994. It was a high-performance computer used mainly for 3D graphics and was the most capable graphics workstation of its era. It was optimized for 3D visualization with hardware-accelerated three-dimensional graphics rendering capabilities. This machine was hence ideal for high performance computing environments. L'ordinateur Silicon Graphics SGI Indigo était produit pendant seulement trois ans entre 1991 et 1994. Il était un ordinateur de haute-performance utilise principalement pour le graphique en 3D et il était le meilleur et plus capable pour son ère. Il était optimisé pour la visualisation en trois dimensions et avait du matériel informatique accélérer pour rendre les graphiques en 3D. Cette machine était donc idéale pour les environnements d'ordinateurs de haute performance.
