Home is where one’s heart is—with a solid door, curtains and shuttered windows. My new construction of the Home icon from OS X awaits its inhabitants.
Is that why Apple users live in bourgeois allotment gardens houses? Freed from the Uncanny Valley of interface design, “Home, Sweet Home” was shown in real public space on the streets of Berlin, at Ars Electronica St. Oberholz in Berlin and during Hyperkult XX on Lüneburg.
Every house building starts with a plan.
Painting the shutters for the single window.
The OS X house has a very solid door.
After long reserach I found a wallpaper to properly fake the fake plaster.
Last summer I took “Home, Sweet Home” to various places. This is why I made a two straps on its back. They are useful to take it rucksack-like from exhibition to exhibition. When I am carry it around I usually get to know a lot of people :)
