...wireless companies keep packing them with pricey extras--like color screens, Web browsers, games and e-mail--that most people don't need? Now several companies are developing stripped-down, single-use models targeted for casual users who just want to take a cell phone on vacation or stash one with their emergency flashlight. One of the first to market will be the Hop-On Wireless (shown here) priced at $30 for 30 min. of talk time. To keep costs down, the device (about the size of a deck of cards) contains only a quarter of the components found...
Tucked away into a high-ceilinged, rectangular room of Adams House, the show at first glance looks like a strange collection of articles one would put into a time capsule—a stash. Never was an exhibit more true to its name. But STASH is much more than simply an array of multi-colored objects that strike the eye—it is a revealing, thought-provoking and self-declared experiment on the Harvard student body that allows its viewers to draw their own conclusions about the participants and their submissions. The fact that the contributing artists of STASH...
...STASH is also an interactive exhibit: viewers are free to wander around the room and gaze at the objects, some of which are mounted on the drab gray walls, some divided from others and some even dangling in midair, in an otherwise dingy and barren room. According to Ceruzzi, “I wanted to be able to take the objects out of the bags if necessary, to see them better, but still preserve the concept of all of the objects fitting within a certain space.” Bare lightbulbs on the ceiling illuminate the sections of the display...
Mounted in similar Ziploc bags in the adjoining room are pieces of paper listing all the contributing artists, as well as quotations from contributors—“Can I have it back?”—and the essential motivations of the show. Apparently STASH originated from general “frustration with the inability to gather high-quality student art from a wide range of artists and display it well.” The difficulty of putting together a student show is undoubtedly what triggers the consensus from numerous STASH participants that visual arts...
...negative foundations of STASH eventually prove themselves wrong, for the exhibit demonstrates marvelously the many multi-faceted possibilities of student-organized art. Student work at Harvard is a goldmine with ores of untapped talents and unfulfilled potential; with more publicity, more participation, more prominent places to display, it should take on a much larger role on campus. If STASH is any indication, art is not just for the elite or the “artsy”; rather, it is accessible to everyone who has the vaguest desire either to experience it as a viewer or as a contributor...
