With everything in the world becoming digital, artist Ingo Schmid has something to say. His 'Web is Nut Enough' performance art piece is billed as, "The first analog website in the world."
It is a statement and social commentary about our obsession with all things digital.
Yanko Design explains, “the stage features four menu items relating to the shows content. Ingo himself plays the cursor and when prompted, his friends join him on stage and perform live music mimicking the MySpace experience. Now if he added the other, more famous MySpace element, millions of barely dressed teenage girls, he might have a real hit on his hands.â€
