iPod sculpture wins art prize

4 June 2008 16:13 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

A sculptor has won first place at the San Francisco Academy of Art University's Annual Spring Show for a piece called "Pan With His iPod".

Sculptor Adam Reeder's winning piece aims to explore how technology changes the way Western culture interacts with its world.

Reeder explains: "In mythology Pan played his flute and danced in the woods. In my sculpture, the flute is replaced with an iPod. The nature of Pan hasn't changed, but the context in which he is seen has changed. The technology has changed what Pan is doing".
