Skittles by Josh Kline offers food for thought. This installation features a refrigerator containing snarky smoothies and social commentary fresh enough to eat. The exhibit is part of the New York City High Line's Archeo Project.
This poignant piece represents the deprivations of modern society. The industrial fridge is stocked with smoothies that speak to the fascination and frustration with technology so prevalent in urban life. With ingredients like big data and kale chips, the smoothie concoctions come with a side of humor as well. The list of ingredients note both old technologies and new ones, but also leaves interpretation up to the viewer.
Based on aesthetics alone, the Josh Kline installation is visually appealing. The bottles are likely based on the BluePrintJuice design.
