The Xpo Gallery is making visitors think hard about the effects of smartwatches and where they will be in the future with this exhibit by Aram Bartholl titled Full Screen.
The artist's outlook on the development of the screen as an interface is actually quite bleak. He believes there will be no use for the screen in the future, and imagines a world where images can be transmitted to viewers without this physical barrier. Even though smartwatches are only just beginning to hit the shelves for consumers, artists such as Bartholl at the Xpo Gallery are trying to look further than the immediate future to predict what affects this type of technology will have on humans.
