✖ Via Retrofuturs: “iTunes store / Sociology of objects”

Previously on Skandalon : Stéphane Massa-Bidal. Follow him on Tumblr.

The quote he’s using in this illustration is attributed to Tammy Faye Bakker. She’s also purportedly said “I wake up every morning and I wish I were dead, and so does Jim”. Cheaper and maybe less effective, I would say. I’ll come back to it.

✖ Via Conscientious: John Clendenen, no 14 from his Science Fiction series [click for hi-res]

Statement:

“This site is my effort to introduce my work into the personal space described here by John Berger. Of course, the nature of this space has changed since 1972. Instead of a board, the Internet has become the environment in which we gather media.

My desire for my work is for it to be accessible to any audience that it might interest, and it is the purpose of this website to make that possible. So please feel free to download any images or videos, send them to your friends or link to them on your social networking profiles. All I ask in return is credit and a link back to this site.”

And here’s John Berger’s quote Clendenen is referring to:

“Adults and children sometimes have boards in their bedrooms or living-rooms on which they pin pieces of paper: letters, snapshots, reproductions of paintings, newspaper cuttings, original drawings, postcards. On each board all the images belong to the same language and all are more or less equal within it, because they have been chosen in a highly personal way to match and express the experience of the room’s inhabitant. Logically, these boards should replace museums.” (ways of seeing, 1972)

✖ Via Radiology Art: CT scan of an iPod
“This is a CT scan of an iPod. The LCD screen is seen in pink. Behind the screen and to the most cephalic extreme of the body, a gray battery pack can be seen. Various other electronic components can be visualized including the control sensor array which is arranged in a circle below the LCD screen. Note the headphone jack in the upper right part of the image proximal to the battery pack.”

About Radiology Art:

“Artist and medical student Satre Stuelke founded the Radiology Art project to explore the hidden contents and structures of everyday things. Dedicated to the deeper visualization of various objects that hold unique cultural importance in contemporary society, this project intends to plant a seed of scientific creativity in the minds of all those inclined to participate.” (read more)

The Business Insider | CHART OF THE DAY: “Amazon’s Stock Wins Day One Of The iPad Onslaught” by Jay Yarow and Kamelia Angelova, Jan. 27, 2010

“Amazon won the first day of its battle with the iPad. At least, as measured by investors. Amazon finished the day up almost 3%, while Apple was only up 1%. This is a long term battle, but Jeff Bezos is probably feeling better than he thought he would today.” (more)
