Back in April, we told you about an artist’s social statement on the selfie stick. Remember the selfie arm? The creative selfie tool is a collaboration of artists, Justin Crowe and Aric Snee.
According to the artists, the “collaborative project is a direct commentary on the growing selfie stick phenomenon, and the constant, gnawing need for narcissistic internet validation.” The fiberglass arm was created with a snug fitting for your smartphone and was the answer to the fact that “nobody wants to look alone while they mindlessly snap pictures of themselves — the product conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. and better yet, it doesn’t talk or have emotions of any sort. you can even create fake accounts and use its finger to like all your images; its not you its the hand!”
Lightweight and portable, we held out our money for our very own selfie arm. At the time, the artists explained it was just a prototype, it wouldn’t be available for the public to buy. Well, our prayers have been answered.
Well, sorta.
The artists are offering up 10 autographed selfie sticks at the hefty price tag of $6,200. Guess they aren’t starving artists…
So, if you have extra money laying around and you buy one, let us know. You know, so we can borrow it…
