"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.
