Consumer gadgets can be very addictive. Almost as addictive as french fries, onion rings, and anything else you can cook in hot oil. Even the gadgets themselves.
Photographer Henry Hargreaves has captured our insatiable hunger for new technology with a series of startling images of deep-fried electronics. We already knew we were digital junkies, but these images don’t go down so easily.
What looks like a well-cooked iPhone might trigger a Pavlovian salivating response in some. And why not chomp down on that fried Game Boy?
“I like to play with food and the juxtaposition of different worlds,” says Brooklyn-based Hargreaves, whose inspiration came from gadget-hungry Japan.
