- Andaith 9y agoFriendly warning: NSFW. If your company cares about that sort of thing, maybe open this at home.
- alex_young 9y agoI assume you mean the image of Venus? I really wouldn't want to work anywhere that's considered unsafe personally.
- i_am_nomad 9y agoNo, there were photos of people smoking.
- couchand 9y agoWhy not? Does your office not look kindly on high renaissance paintings?
- jamesrom 9y agoThank you for the warning. Some people like to cast judgement about being overly zealous or prude with NSFW designation... But it's clear that being too cautious is better than the alternative.
- fimdomeio 9y agoIt's so overly zealous that I can't even understand about what is NSFW referring to.
- Theodores 9y agoNot safe for what? Sure there is part of a painting of a naked lady, but is it art? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Venus_(Giorgione) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Venus_(Giorgione) Then there is a man's nipple plus, shock/horror, some people smoking. I imagine it is the latter that'll be horrifying you. If I was tyrant-employer I would be sacking people for obsessively looking at their phones all day, rather than inadvertently looking at a nipple or two.
- notmarkus 9y agoIt's doubtful that anyone would fire an employee looking at fine art. The more realistic issue is that some coworker might be walking by and catch a 0.5 second glimpse, think they saw something that they didn't, maybe turn it into a bigger thing or at least start a conversation or two about it, and months later maybe a boss is less inclined to give a big raise or promotion, because there's a sliver of a worry that this person might be problematic. It's never as black-and-white as "boss walks by and fires person looking at art."
- amingilani 9y agoUmmm.. can someone please explain share I just saw? There's no description about what this is. Atleast on mobile.
- curtis3389 9y agoThis looks to be an art piece about smart phones. It seems to be the standard criticism of smart phones today; but it's in pretentious art form.
- eof 9y agopretty sure this is photos of performance art
- Nzen 9y agotl;dr a series of satirical photos of people holding a piece of glass milled in the shape of a conventional, contemporary cellphone. For a longer video equivalent, see motherboard's youtube video review of a display phone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CurrggRdaUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CurrggRdaUY In these situations, I'm reminded of Bret Victor's criticism of planar interaction http://worrydream.com/#!/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionDesign http://worrydream.com/#!/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionD... . Unfortunately, until we are closer to programmable matter or an economic powerglove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAeViKt45eA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAeViKt45eA I doubt we will escape the local maxima of variety we can offer via a touchscreen
- drivingmenuts 9y agoReminds me of the personal devices in The Expanse, except without the odd side modules.
