Screenshots of Fake Apps from the App Store<br \/>\nBy Nitasha Tiku 8\/17 5:13pm via BoingBoing<br \/>\nIn a sign of technology\u2019s growing pervasiveness in the cultural ether, Boing Boing pointed us to an upcoming show at the Pace Gallery on West 25th Street will feature art from David Bryne that\u2019s inspired, almost entirely by the looks of it, by Apple\u2019s App Store. The exhibit called \u201cSocial Media\u201d (naturally) says will it will focus: \u201cContemporary artists exploring public platforms for communication and social networks through an aesthetic and conceptual lens. In an era of increasingly omnipresent new technologies, Social Media examines the impact of these systems as they transform human expression, interaction, and perception.\u201d Wow, that was almost as obtuse as business jargon. Just throw in a few strats and pivots and this could be a company bio. So what would the App Store look like if Mr. Byrne was a developer? Along with Invisible Me (to the left), there\u2019s Weaselface, an app that \u201clends snark and satire to any written text\u2013including the Bible!\u201d There\u2019s also Childster, which sounds like something Pedo-Bear would be into, but is actually \u201cturns your phone into a babysitter,\u201d which features a new setting for monitoring aging parents.\u201d We\u2019d definitely plunk 99 cents for that Weaselface widget.
