“Download” a dinnerware set for one, is a suppose to be a comment on technology and our lives. The artist Yosoh says;
“I once saw a 1960’s science program that proclaimed computers would simplify our lives bringing a 4 day work week. I can only speak for myself, computers have had the opposite affect. Most of my meals are spent in front of the computer. The pace of our lives seems to be spinning out of control. “Download” is dedicated to the individuals whose dining companions are often their computers.
The monitor, a shallow plate that reminds us there is more to life than work. The keyboard, a shallow box for holding food items, a CD to serve as a small plate or coaster, a mouse which is a two sided spice dispenser and a mouse pad napkin.
This dinner set is loosely based on the Japanese bento box (lunch box). A bento box is a compact container designed to hold a single serving of rice and several side dishes. It is said that a bento prepared at home is imbued with the love of the eater’s family. No one ever reflects on their life wishing they had spent more time at work. Take a moment out of your busy day and enjoy life.”
- Hm. I hear you! I should not sit here, looking at sushi - I should be out eating sushi! Despite the theme here being a bit grim, I did find the idea of turning it around amusing and very inspiring.
