Statue Honoring Steve Jobs Destined for Apple Headquarters Unveiled in Belgrade

[SchneiderMan]

Should look like this, but made out of anodized aluminum

Don't know what Apple will give the artist but it should be life.

That statue is a crime.

 

[trainwrecka]

I don't think johnny I've had input on this one

I hope this isn't indicative of apples new design direction...

This x 1,000,000

 

[fel10]

Revolutionary.

 

[sransari]

love the sentiment, but the statue looks like something out of human centipede

 

[Lazy]

Selected from 10,000 entries?

Was maximum hideousness the main selection criterion?!?

 

[apolloa]

????????????????????????????????????????????? is all I have to say.

 

[sine-nomine]

Wow, I bet that hurt like hell on the way out...

 

[Msail30bay]

Well, there is Art and then there is………… art. I guess this would fall into "creative art."

 

[Swordylove]

(I feel like I have so much to say about this)

1. What abomination is that?

2. Is this a joke? That statue/sculpture looks like it belongs to a creepy cult. Has Apple turned into a creepy fanatic cult?

3. Even if Apple wants erect a statue of Steve, it should look modern or at least like an ordinary uncreepy statue. That statue is an exact opposite of all Steve/Apple was about. If I were Steve, I would not be rolling in my grave, I would jump right out and destroy that abomination right away!

4. Is this a joke? Have I asked that already? Maybe this statue was supposed to be saved for this year's April Fools.

5. Yeah I agree with many forumers here... Steve is about simplicity, perfection, and easiness to learn/use/understand. Not complexity, ugliness, and obscurity! This statue does not represent Steve in any way, except for the sorry head.

 

[SoAnyway]

I just don't see the resemblance, sorry.

If it doesn't work out as a statue, they can always use it to scare vultures off of a gut wagon.

Art is in the eye of the beholder, and I find that piece tremendously unpleasant to look at.

 

[Prof.]

I've had my fair share of art appreciation classes in college but this is just horrendous!

 

[zoozx]

There is art and there is crap art,
that is crap art from someone with a name.
Give me 5 min and i could do better than that sh.

 

[fullauto]

Should look like this, but made out of anodized aluminum

Or liquid metal.. that would be sweet.

 

[zoozx]

del

 

[jon3543]

You have GOT to be kidding me. (Use your imagination and insert suitable emoticon here. Heck, shrink it down, and that statue could be the basis for an emoticon to express extreme shock and horror.)

 

[SockRolid]

... will see the statue placed at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino.

Better idea: place the statue at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond.
It would look much more at home there.

 

[Exponent]

Probably the first and only time that would happen. Proves this thing needs to be killed with fire.

I'll take Ripley's advice on this one:

Challenge accepted. Awaiting your submission.

 

[Illuminated]

That doesn't even look like Steve!

 

[bbbb4b]

That doesn't even look like Steve!

Just needs a pair of New Balance at the bottom.

 

[Commy1]

Ugh... I think... that the most famous artists are the best at BS explaining their work to the right people.

 

[myrtlebee]

What a disgrace. Does no justice for Jobs. Put it next to the dumpsters to scare away the raccoons.

Reminds me of the horrible fountain sculpture they decided to save in San Francisco:

Who makes these decisions?
