Beauty in the Beast

Technology is a strange beast - most of it is pointless - I mean we do really pointless, self-destructive things with it - the stockmarket, automobiles, weapons, GMOs, plastics, computers, cell phones - the list is seemingly endless; Crap, we justify as critical to our lives. After the emergence of a technology, it's refinement, maybe it's ubiquity, it falls in the hands of artists. Then, and only then, do we discover the beauty in the beast.

It never was just a phone - we just didn't quit talking and texting long enough to see

The above was shot entirely on a Nokia N8 mobile phone. Winner of the Nokia Shorts competition 2011.
