Pop Baby Bottles
The artist Anna Utopia Giordano has created this series of branded baby bottles, with the simple message “Parents, please, feed your kids responsibly”. The metaphor’s quite clear, for some it’ll be more strong, for others, light.
The author says: the bottles are NOT for sale, they are part of an art exhibition. This is an art project to raise social awareness on topics such as alcohol abuse by teens, alcohol abuse by pregnant women, the disinterest of some parents towards their children (abandoned for days between toys and video games), how far marketers can go to gain the attention of their younger customers. There are no commercial purposes. Always remember, please, the minimum age for drinking alcohol in your country (if you do not know, see this table) and drink responsibly.
Guitar pedals installation
“An interactive art piece consisting of a grid of 96 guitar effects pedals that are wired together, as well as a guitar and an amplifier. As people step on the different pedals they activate various effects, which multiply over one another, creating a dynamic sonic experience”. By David Byrne.
