Fresh Take: The Throne of Nerds


The Throne of Nerds by Mike DeWolfe

This nerd homage to Game of Thrones was created from twenty old keyboards and melted under the ragequit flame of frustration that can only come with the  abrupt, unsatisfying cliffhanger of a season finale of your favorite series.
"The underlying message is one of suffering. The keyboards have been melted and warped. They’re made to twist to fit, but at the same time that renders them unuseable because they cannot fulfill their intended purpose. The keyboards are black and silver, and the underlying chair is white, but those colours have been replaced with black, in whole or in random splotches.

The keyboard warping includes the scorching of almost all of the ESC keys to symbolize how impossible it can be escape suffering and blackness. The only key that is consciously left undamaged is the ESC key on the highest positioned keyboard."
