About the exhibition: Popping Pillflowers by Lynne Heller

The Pillflower Project consists of scanned images of pills and tablets, digitally manipulated into flowerlike Mandelas. Happiness can seemingly be produced through the use of modern pharmaceuticals; not only by taking them, but also by the magnetism of their colorful and candy-like appeal. The omni-presence of pills and drugs is augmented by practices of self-medication, evidenced through a pill-popping society that is continually fed ubiquitous promotion and marketing advertisements that ‘legitimate’ and ‘illicit’ the supposed need.

About the WAG:

The “WAG" is a mini single room gallery that fits into people pocket 'cause I've developed it for IPhone, IPod Touch and I Pad. Every month, directly on audience mobile The WAG hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to the dynamic site-specific context. So the Widget Art Gallery works both as a sort of kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and as a museum, conserving and collecting all the past exhibitions inside an online archive always available.
For IPhone and IPod touch, just copy this url http://www.chiarapassa.it/wag/mobile/ in Safari and choose: “add to home” and the WAG's icon will be saved on your IPhone. Do the same for IPad but paste this other URL: http://www.chiarapassa.it/wagipad/mobile/, or download the widget version for Mac osx dashboard at: http://www.chiarapassa.it/TheWidgetArtGallery.html

Best regards, Chiara Passa.
