Social media
a confounding puzzle 
contemporary mystery 
annoying necessity
technology acting as real 

the digital grandchild 
Andy Warhol 
the fifteen minutes of fame, fame
Andy, the champion of the bland
everyone will be famous fame

future caught up 
Andy was right
shinny screens went viral
clipping lives curating the ordinaire
sharing shallow nothingness 

heads downcast disconnected
piling on a marketing mirage 
moronic drain addiction 
digital dementia 
what is life really worth 

built-in obsolescence 
constant upgrades charging 
should've be a give-away
but still we pay 
by phone of course 

technology comes and goes  
now its global
an infection of endless promise
hangin' at the end of the line
a drug for dumbing down

none but the art of self connection
can stop dependence, Oh mercy! 
throw it / throw it away...now
religion mind control  false idols
entertain us / entertain us / hello hello

what a beautiful thing 
it is
to be a human
just being
...



Sung. - upcycled mobile phone, gold foil, and plaster. 22.5x17.5cm framed
