Female iPad Head Seduces Man In Bryant Park

Urban Shit reports about a great installations walking in New York City’s Bryant Park a couple of weeks ago. This female iPad head could have easily been an art project reflecting on current avatar culture. Maybe some critical statement about modern social media use as a replacement for real-life contact, and the devaluation of public life as a consequence. But it wasn’t. This iPad head had the rather banal task to seduce geeky men to go to the iTunes Store and download the Cosmos for Men. A great interactive marketing campaign when asked me. Check out the video to see the result.
