I completed another piece last night, inspired by the Setting the Scene exhibit at ACMI.

Part of the idea of technology intruding and being adopted by young adults is of course, its intrusion in the most personal spaces we have, the intrusions on personal space.

When young girls adopt technology they often strive to make it a physical part of them to all intents and purposes, and a symbol for what they represent. With mobile phones it's achieved by adding 'bling', new phone jackets and chains, new wallpapers and functionality.

In this piece, I've tried to achieve a blend of this, a blend of technology and beauty, functionality and some consideration for aesthetics. A very direct intrusion on personal space but with obvious function.
