Station 2: Steve Jobs est mort – by Cedric Loth

WHERE: The corner of Rue Sherbrooke & Avenue McGill College

A McGill student, perched on a bench, looks at his laptop in shock.  The student is so engrossed in what he’s reading that he doesn’t notice a squirrel taking off with the part of his burger. Originally, on his screen is a picture of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, accompanied by the words STEVE JOBS EST MORT.  In English: “Steve Jobs is dead.”  Although there are no such images on the screen anymore, the statue is a memorial for Steve Jobs, in addition to a playful dig at what the artist perceives as unhealthy, tech-obsessed college students.
