This is a screen shot from the video of Steve Jobs’ Keynote Address on Wednesday, March 2 (video available here). It captures the moment when Jobs reveals to the audience the look of his newest creation, the iPad 2. He gazes upon it, as if looking into a mirror, while sharing these thoughts:
“One of the most startling things about the iPad 2 is that it is dramatically thinner. Not a little bit thinner; a third thinner. (…) It’s dramatic.”
After looking at this object as something envisioned by Jobs, a design and a piece of abstract sculpture — is it too far-fetched for me to see this also as his self-portrait?
