Artists create relief sculptures of Google and Apple headquarters
The headquarters of Facebook, Apple and Google feature in this series of relief sculptures by artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell.
Langlands & Bell has created reliefs of several technology company's headquarters including the Foster + Partners-designed Apple Park in Cupertino
The artists, known collectively as Langlands & Bell, created the pieces for an installation at the Ikon gallery in Birmingham called Internet Giants: Masters of the Universe.
The artworks are based on the offices of some of the world's largest technology companies. Each is made by hand, from a combination of white-painted card and wood.
Included in the exhibition is Foster + Partners' Apple Park campus in Cupertino, Google's Charleston East campus designed by BIG and Thomas Heatherwick and Facebook's Frank Gehry-designed Menlo Park office in Palo Alto. The exhibition called Internet Giants: Masters of the Universe is at the Ikon gallery in Birmingham
Langlands & Bell created the artworks as they believe technology companies are becoming increasingly powerful, but that we can learn a lot from the buildings they occupy.
"The internet giants continue to grow exponentially, becoming ever more powerful by the day, and are exercising an increasingly profound influence on our lives," Langlands & Bell told Dezeen.
"They are reshaping the cultures, politics and economies of the planet comprehensively."
