leftover shavings in electric juicer; apple and carrot

Parker has a few pieces whose titles starts with: "Negatives of . . . ", and in those pieces she explored the 'killed off' matter in the production of an object. About Negatives of Sound, she had explained the question she set herself as such:
... the idea of all sound produced, and to achieve it what do you have to get rid of?
She ended up with a small pile of black lacquer, remains from cutting grooves in records. It was, literally, a pile of negatives of sound.
This piece explores something along similar ground. In this small jam jar is two slices of an apple and two slices of a carrot, without the juice. It was collected from an electric juicer, after apples and carrots had gone through it. Instead of focusing on the fact that it has been cast off, which would make the title Negative of Juice, this piece focuses on the fact that it has remained its original state. Thus: Apple and Carrot. An initial reaction would be a marginalizing “that doesn’t even look like an apple or a carrot”, but it does not change the fact that it still is an apple and a carrot. This concept of a physical transformation not affecting a core identity is given great attention by Parker. And the beauty of her manifestation of this concept is that she does it through small, quotidian things—a record, old and abandoned silver ornaments; I did it through some fruit and vegetable—that act like an empty can, allowing the concept to be magnified (i.e. sound is to impact) once put in.
We are in a world of incredibly fast-paced change. Greek-American computer scientist and architect Nicholas Negroponte calls it digitality, the apparently ‘second’ post-modern age: an age marked by the rapidly continually increasing power of technology and communication. This pervading power makes it is easy for people to forget roots, beginnings, and the past. It is easy to dismiss, or even give complete disregard to, the process of a finished product. Because of word-processing programs and electronic mail, for example, it no longer matters how we write a letter – there is no need to worry about pen and paper and legible handwriting, a decent envelope and the right amount of stamps. Because of advanced machinery, it no longer matters to production plant how long it would take for 100 people to craft and assemble 50,000 analogue clocks. This generation geared towards convenience is forgetting the value in the process.
Parker beyond being an artist, therefore, is arguably a nostalgic. It shows in her work that her heart lingers in a time when the process was magnified; when effort in the process had the potential to bring even greater value to the end product. This is a time that has passed, passed like the one who had made the juice and left the remains of the fruit and vegetable (despite still being completely edible) for me to find and collect.
In the creation of anything, something must be destroyed; something must be left behind. What people have a choice in is the forgetting one thing to make space for the thought of something new. Parker’s work, and this response, chooses not to forget.

part of my A Level art contextual study. in response to cornelia parker, who deals with the killed-off, the thrown away, the negatives.
Driving through Pennsylvania, I noticed this Apple orchard. Rolling hills full of them. I had to pull over and get this shot.
I really did like the Apple IIe line. This was the first model Apple I had the opportunity to try, and the funny "return" key stuck in my mind for - literally - decades afterward.
I made this from scratch to eat while watching a baseball game....yes really. We ARE that American....baseball and apple pie. :)
"Documents released Monday showed the NSA had worked on software that would allow it to remotely retrieve virtually all the information on an iPhone including text messages, photos, contacts, location, voice mail and live calls.
The software, DropoutJeep, was first disclosed by Der Spiegel and security researcher Jacob Appelbaum. The NSA slides are dated 2008, a year after the first iPhone was launched."

Made these for a cutie pie... Mya!
The bottoms of the booties look like apple slices with seeds.

Apple Extended Keyboards II are famous for their Alps keyswitches, but what many may not know is that not all Nimitzes have Alps keyswitches. Some have keyswitches by a company called Mitsumi, and this (according to this post on a forum) is one of those, as its serial number starts with M.
Here, you're looking down the keyboard, at the function keys (foreground) and extended navigation block (background). Two of the lights are visible as well.
One interesting thing you can see from this angle is that the keyswitches under the function keys, escape key, and power key are perpendicular to those under all the other keys. I don't know why.
Low End Mac has disassembly instructions.
Edit: I was re-listening to episode 20 (the keyboard episode) of “The Talk Show” with John Gruber and Dan Benjamin the other day, and according to a guy Dan Benjamin talked to, the “other” keyswitches are orange, while Alps keyswitches are white or black. I don't know whom to believe.
I used an orange anti-septic solution bottle in front of an LED for lighting..just fooling around with stuff

You can see they are well on the way to putting the glass face up
