This was just too good to pass up. What you're seeing is an art piece which recreates the monolith from 2001 with a gigantic sculpted rendition of the movie's VHS (remember those?)The artist, David Herbert, unfortunately didn't have any kind of comment or explanation to accompany this on his website.
This piece screams 'technology'! It appears and changes the world! The use of a very outdated technology gives it a deeper affect, making us tilt our heads and really think. I'd go more into it, but honestly, I'm no art critic and feel out of my element making any comments.
I just thought that this was an amazing image for this class. I think it could be our icon. It's got Digital Age written all over it.
