[edit] iArt
An Australian art movement instigated on the Central Coast and in Sydney raising questions about social interactions, with particular reference to ipods. The iArt movement is a series of posters and performances that can be seen on streets or the public transport system.
[edit] Posters
The posters play off apple's method of advertisement, in that it 'floods' an area with these colourful posters in large quantities. This provides an interesting contrast to the dull street settings these posters are placed in. It can be inferred that the artist/s involved is making a statement about the relationship between art and advertisements and is heavily influenced by pop art. Popular poster sites have been Mann Street in Gosford on the Central Coast, Central Station, St James Station, Museum Station and George Street.
[edit] Performances
Performances normally involved the recording of people travelling on trains with boxes on their heads. These boxes are brightly coloured and have ipods spray painted on their surface. The performers have been known to listen to ipods connected to these boxes - making a statement about how ipods disconnect the listener from their surroundings.
