Gee, lighten up Apple!
One of the devices pictured above is the Vision Pro, a $3,500 'spatial computer' created by the world's largest tech company. The other is the iHead, a non-existent parody product that predates the Vision Pro and was created for a music video by a special effects artist who worked with Monty Python. Apple seems to be worried that we won't be able to tell which is which.
The iHead is the subject of a satirical sketch recorded by Britain's most learned comedian Stephen Fry back in 2019. What could be considered a Vision Pro parody before its time, has now been released as part of the album Super Connected by British singer-songwriter Tim Arnold. And the album has been banned from Apple Music as a result.
Local Muswell Hill based artist Valerie Charlton and creator of the iHead said this:1/5. “Tim Arnold’s film ‘Superconnected' is a surreal art work - a musical film questioning of one of the most important issues of our time…technology’s intrusion into our lives and minds. pic.twitter.com/HEmTbxqQaqArnold has cited examples of other albums that contain joke ads but faced no such band, including The Who Sell Out.
"Perhaps the paradox of this parody has unearthed an Apple policy that Apple customers and artists are not aware of?" the letter reads."Whatever it is, this entire debacle signals a potentially corrosive turn in the freedom of independent artists to express their art on digital platforms.
