Apple products have become objects of worship.
Tompert Michael, an artist from San Francisco (and former Apple employee), investigated in a "brutal" the report objects to these products by the brand Steve Jobs.
Insight was random: the artist had given her two children iPod Touch, which had begun immediately litigarseli furiously, to resolve the issue has requisitioned the gifts, saying that the two, after all, were fighting only for fools objects. Before the eyes of children, has also thrown to the ground one, breaking it.
The gesture caused the silence in the house of mourning and a day, for an object already considered a desire to 8 years. The artist has discovered a way to photograph the world in products disintegrated. After having destroyed
, vivisection, photographed and printed in large format large numbers (with an investment of money and time, a year, not indifferent), came to a close but not too trivial: we are obsessed, we are employees, but in the end ... are just objects that become obsolete within a year.
From a artistic point of view, the operation is reminiscent of the Dada and Surrealist works: contemporary status symbol vivisected once again becoming objects, hardly more familiar. As Magritte would say: "This is not an iPhone. "
PS: the photos of the artist have just been exposed to the Live Worms Gallery in San Francisco.
