12LVE by digital artist, Michael Tompert, provides society a mirror, forcing us to question our infatuation with mere objects. By annihilating the adored, pulverizing the precious, and obliterating the beloved, 12LVE reminds us that although these objects have become quasi-religious icons, we will soon discard and replace them with the new crop—sleeker, faster, shinier.

The art is currently on display at the Museum für Kunst und Handel in Hamburg, Germany, in conjuction with the exhibit Stylectrical—Electronic Design That is Making History.
