A self-initiated project that examines the emotions and secret lives of our household objects, exploring the notion of a jealous picture frame envious of the attention lavished on the TV by their owner. The picture frame will attack TVs close by, preventing them from working properly by changing the channels, muting them, turning the colours to black and white, shutting them down, turning them on at night with full volume and generally doing its best to turn it’s owner against the new medium.
Concept
The objects that surround us are rapidly being electronically updated with promises of greater intelligence and enhanced user-satisfaction. This developing intelligence and the rift it generates between first and subsequent generations of objects might set the ground for darker impulses, and soon greed, jealousy and revenge could spread in the electronic world.
