Teddy bear cell phones? Do Want!
Japan's AU KDDI just launched their "art meets innovation show" in Harajuku called the Mobile in Forest Exhibition. Various artists have showcased their innovative representations of the cell phone.
Housed in the now famous futurist gallery space designed by Tadao Ando (formerly occupied by HHStyle), the show features a polyurethane rubber “socket-deer” and a “HOLDING BEAR CHARGER” allowing you to recharge your phone in style. While not over-the-top in terms of sci-fi themes, the merging of nature and technology via art points towards an inevitable future when all this tech blends seamlessly into the background and, as Arthur C. Clarke once said, begins to appear as magic.
