The IPod, by Apple, has become an iconic image in our international society. You see it’s instantly recognizable image and clever advertising wherever you go, whether it is on my hometown streets in New York or here, down under, in Sydney, Australia. Using the symbolic image of a movie still from Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” as the setting, I am attempting in this artwork to bring attention to the fact that we are now almost completely dependent on this little device for auditory stimulation. Instead of an abstract obelisk, we are the monkeys fighting over this silicon device, whose battery can not be recycled, ever. Once the battery has malfunctioned, the IPod must simply be cast aside. Thus we need to Reframe the design of this amazing invention.
