Just WATCH me. . . ." This article is written solely for wealthy readers."

 "Because you are evil and she is an artist, Qinmin Liu wants you to buy a gold Apple Watch and give it to her, so that she can make art...""

and here i am struggling to pay my $45 cell phone bill. 

Liu concept?? She is asking for gold watches b/c ...." i care more about individuals' behaviors and want to explore the relationship between desire and action."

we know everyone wants those apple watches, myself included....not the gold one, i would be fine with the stainless steel one. 



Still, Liu explained: "I consider Apple a phenomenon, an undeniable phenomenon. So I feel like there should be someone who is willing to study this phenomenon."


heres her donation page if you wanna check it out: Liu's donation page
she writes: "If you own or plan to purchase a 18k gold apple watch, you are rich and evil. We are offering you one way out: donate to us. After all, why on earth do you need a watch? PS: If you know Bill Gates, tell him about us. He hates Apple watch more than anyone, since Microsoft can never make one."

hahhaha.

technology, installation art, public involvement, apple watch, questioning the role of technology and peoples lives/desires. 

endless possibilities with each new item hitting the market. 

best of luck fellow artists.

coooooool



just watch me :)
i like this.... for charging purposes of course, but...
Q: What does long term exposure do to humans?
....this article states it is directed only to the receiver  (not the entire range  approx. 30ft)

interesting thought, can we create "paintings" or art using infrared light?
are there any artists you can think of if so?

-xxoo-

remember the meditation room?

I came across this artist while researching the word memory for my thesis.

olafur eliasson:
"Olafur Eliasson is a Danish-Icelandic artist known for sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to enhance the viewer’s experience"-wiki.

he was at the MCA in 2009
