Valise in an iPod/Museum in a Pocket
(ceci n'est pas une iPod)
http://www.voyd.com/voyd/ipod.htm
open edition
Patrick Lichty,
(2006)
Valise in an iPod follows after Duchamp's Readymade mini-museum, "Box in
Valise" ( 1935-41 ). Valise in an iPod plays with the tension between
the mass object and the reproducibility of the digital object, the
promotional nature of consumer branding and the identity of the personal
deice, as well as many other issues.
Valise in an iPod also plays with the duchampian model by ascribing the
double entendre "ceci nest pas une iPod" (This is not an iPod) to
Magritte's seminal painting, and Duchamp's repurposing of readymade
paintings, such as L.H.O.Q.Q. Therevore Valise in an iPodis a Readymade
for the digital generation, "Ready-Made, Ready to Go."
Each laser-etched Valise in an iPod comes with a selection of images and
video by Lichty, as well as Duchampian RotoAnimations on each one. Each
comes with an AV cable, and special editions come with a seminal edition
of an exclusive Valise cover, "Wayward Pixel".
