David Byrne made a bunch of fake screenshots for iPhone apps that don’t exist. They’ll be in an exhibit called “Social Media,” at The Pace Gallery (510 West 25th Street) from September 16 – October 15.
Show description: “The exhibition focuses on contemporary artists exploring public platforms for communication and social networks through an aesthetic and conceptual lens. In an era of increasingly omnipresent new technologies, Social Media examines the impact of these systems as they transform human expression, interaction, and perception.”
In addition to David Byrne’s work, Social Media will feature work by Christopher Baker, Aram Bartholl, Jonathan Harris, Robert Heinecken, Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, Sep Kamvar and Penelope Umbrico.
