wrapping the phone w it's own charging cables turns it into smth visible and strange. #restrained #digitalleash #plugged #smartphonesculpture

this is what our life has become without even realizing it. #attachedtoourphones #smartphonesculpture #attentioniscurrency #86400secondsaday

what truly captures the art on our face? What happens when we focus less on the outcome, but on the actual products we use? does the device we use to capture these products in become cosmetic as well?

#smartphonesculpture This sculpture is inspired by my bad habit of using my phone as a coaster. Sometimes media is all-consuming. Reducing the smartphone from my tether to the virtual world into a simple inanimate object is powerful. #coasterphone #lostmyphoneunderthemess #decreasingmyscreentime

McLuhan said we only notice an environment when an anti‑environment exposes it. This little scene is my reminder that the phone isn’t just in my world, it quietly consumes it. #bars

Sometimes we let the phone do all the talking #smartphonesculpture #fakephonecall #realconversation #youropinionsonly

A phone in a plant is showcasing how it stands out in this "anti-environment" whereas it blends in when in our daily lives

#smartphonesculpture #scrollingonthethrone #bathroombuddy #wipingwithwisdom We think of the bathroom as a private area. an area of solitude and peace. But when you sit down your are never alone.

McLuhan says environments are invisible until artists create anti environments. So sealing my phone in plastic makes us think that that’s very strange and unusual for it to be there so now it’s noticeable.

If you can't tell, the thing I consume most isn't the food and drink... #smartphonesculpture #digitaldiet #mostimportantmealofday #isthisreal

Normally my phone organizes and runs my day but here it just feels sooo out of place, like I can finally see it rather than just live inside it. I am having a major anti-environment moment omggg!!! #smartphonesculpture #re-BOOT #thisisweird #Iloledwhiletakingthispic

McLuhan says media is like an invisible environment. My phone is a part of my chill zone, but hiding it in my blanket or even under my pillow feels weird, like an anti environment.

It walks where you walk, until it is seen.

Our phones decide how we spend our day. Even when it’s cold and gloomy our phones make us warm and happy. When we are online the outside world disappears.

2 identical chairs, facing each other, with a phone on the left chair and a person leaning towards the phone on the right.

"Media, by altering the environment, evoke in us unique ratios of sense perceptions. The extension of any one sense alters the way we think and act- the way we perceive the world." (The Medium is the Massage, pg. 25)

Social media is something I consume every day without thinking. Just like I consume REAL food from this microwave every day. #foodforthought #consumetherealstuff #heatingupmydailydoseofsocialmedia #smartphonesculpture

"Our time is a time for crossing barriers, for erasing
old categories—for probing around. When two
seemingly disparate elements are imaginatively
poised, put in apposition in new and unique ways,
startling discoveries often result." #smartphonesculpture #crispDC #thankfulforziploc #revolutionary

I find myself reaching for this thing without even knowing it. How do I stop?

“Any understanding of social change is impossible without understanding media as environments.”
