An altar for the Internet, so we can pray to Wifi," declares Willem van Hooff about this piece, which offers a biting critique of the ultra-connected life surrounding us. "Online life is strange and ugly, yet everyone is addicted to it; I like that this work speaks to this contrast, it's like a kind of router for the home. "It's a brutalist piece, imperfect, because, as the artist says, "the soul of an object is lost in the apparent perfection of mass production."
