Forget Selfie Sticks For Your iPhone: Someone Just Made A Selfie Stick For Your MacBook

Selfie lovers may have a new toy to fuel their
obsession: the MacBook Selfie Stick. That's right,
someone actually made a selfie stick for the Apple
laptop.
If lugging around a selfie stick for a smartphone is
not enough, imagine what enthusiasts can now do
thanks to this innovation.
The brains behind the selfie stick is a website which
has images of artists using the contraption with their
MacBook in tow around New York, including popular
haunts such as Washington Square Park and Times
Square.
In some of the images, one can spot passers-by
looking understandably bemused and puzzled by
what's going on.
Before you get all excited and keen on acquiring the
MacBook Selfie Stick, hold on to your horses as it is
not for sale. The MacBook Selfie Stick is basically an
art piece photo series. The innovative series is
credited to Tom Galle, John Yuvi and Moises. The
three artists are not new to technology-oriented art
piece concepts.
Unlike regular selfie sticks, the MacBook Selfie Stick
is bigger than the traditional ones and this is largely
due to the fact that it needs to hold a 2-pound Apple
laptop aloft. By the looks of the selfie stick, one will
need to hold it into position with both their hands
when taking a selfie. This completely negates the
purpose of a selfie stick in the first place.
Whether the image series is a sardonic attempt on
the part of the artists to highlight the obsession with
the self and technology is a possibility. By using an
object that is absurd compared its original form, the
artists could be blatantly attempting to offer a mirror
into the self-obsessive selfie culture, which is
permeating through society and delineating our value
systems.
Since art and literature are widely believed to be a
mirror of society, the picture series is possibly
intentionally magnifying the culture we are gravitating
towards.
