Artists’ statements
It was before the home computer, at the beginning of the extended use of technology in our lives, from our home’s TVs and telephones, to the Walkman, the first music device we could literally get “plugged-in” and carry along. I saw all of these – coke included – as filters to our perception of reality, between us and the world.

The images and words provoke many interpretations and questions. I would not write an explanation as it would extinguish the dynamics of the poster. A dynamic exists between words and images and I would not end it by giving victory to the words.
