“Dead Reckoning” is the name of Chicago-based artist Michael Dinges’ latest exhibition.

The items shown in this fascinating exhibit consist of engraved Apple laptops and brass recreations of historical nautical instruments. The laptops surfaces have been lavishly etched and decorated with images of animals, seafaring creatures and other iconic images and symbols.

Michael Dinges’ work is currently being shown at the Packer Schopf Gallery in Chicago.

When displayed together, Dinges' obsolete navigational and timekeeping instruments and his engraved dead laptops present the evolution of technology and comment on our impulse and attempts to navigate the world. Estimating a ship's location by tracking direction and distance traveled from a previously determined position using charts and instruments, rather than by direct observation of the stars and sky, is called "dead reckoning...
