Nokia Black Box

What comes to your mind when you are given the theme "black box" ? Probably the "black box" off the airplane might comes to your mind. It represent things such as sound, memories and maybe even tragedy. (Pretty much the only time you need to refer to the black box for help is tragedy isn't it ? )

from www.thedesignsociety.org.sg/

The artwork from this exhibition is all done by our very own local artist and I thought it's really good. Some of them put me thinking and some of them are just pure genius.  Some of you guys might think that since it's a Nokia event, it's more like another commercial product advertising launch but it's not. In my attempt to explain it I would say that it's more like the "Black Box Exhibition Powered by Nokia". 

Can you tell what it represents ? 

There are quite a number of artwork which I really love but this in particular catch my eye and left an impression. Probably because of who I am and I just felt that it's very close to "heart". This illustration is actually 1 of the 4 illustration which tells us how Nokia "changes" our lives. As for this piece it's actually talking about "Social Media". Everyone is behind a "mask", some "talk bird", some are jokers, some are lurking around while others are just liars. True much? No?

Anyway, this is only one of the many pieces of artwork up in the show and there is no way I could share with you the full experience. You guys have to drop by to check it out.
