Tech takes centre stage at the Electroboutique exhibition at the Science Museum in London featuring some of our favourite gadgets arranged in a variety of artistic scenarios put together by a Russian surrealist duo.
Resembling the works of Salvador Dali, Alexei Shulgin and Aristarkh Chernyshev and invited artists have used devices we all used in our day to day life and morphed and contorted them into Electroboutique – an interactive sculpture gallery currently on show at the South Kensington based museum. Within, you will find gadgets such as a giant functioning Apple iPod melted to a wall (we’ve all seen the clocks in Dali’s Persistence of Memory), a fake stuffed dog positioned as if playing with an iPad and most impressing of all an enlarged iPhone stretched and wrapped around itself as if it were no longer a humble mobile gadget but instead a spiralling tower.
Opening the exhibition to an range of artist’s the creators mission statement for Electroboutique is “encouraging participation through “Creative Consumption”, the artists generate a dialogue with their audiences through works which respond, reflect and re-version viewers in real time. The artwork uses the language of pop media culture, live data, sophisticated custom electronics and bespoke software, framed by a tongue-in-cheek appropriation of the language of corporate marketing speak.”
The exhibition has been running since November and ends on February 14th so now may be your final chance to check out the intriguingly terrific tech in person. And best of all – it’s free to enter!
