Hand Heart Eye Phone
Artist Devon Watson presents Hand Hear Eye Phone, a workshop that focuses on the contemporary smart phone.
This workshop will cover a short history of the contemporary smart phone, the impact of phone camera usage on self-documentation and the art historical perspectives of that documentation on identity. Watson will also discuss the inherent problems of smart phones. These include issues related to their manufacture and disposal, the use of conflict materials and the lifecycle of those materials after disposal.
There will be a practical demonstration of how to change an iPhone and Samsung Galaxy screen. This demonstration works to emphasize and dismantle the aura of impassive authority that Apple, Samsung and other companies have come to hold and our own sense of separateness from our personal devices.
The location of the workshop is the Gowanus E-waste Warehouse, 469 President Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11215.
