At this years Art Basel in Miami, Florida one art piece caught the attention of social media platforms, art gazers and Usher fanatics alike. Performance Art piece "Body as Commodity" by artist Lena Marquise and Vector Gallery owner, J.J. Brine grasped the attention of spectators with a nude piece that conceptualized the growing aspects of consumerism; leaving question to whether it controls us or we control it, an answer left for viewers to determine on their own.
How did Usher get tied up in all of this? Well Usher actually attend the Vector Gallery during Art Basel and took part in the performance art. For $20 Usher was able to get 10% charge on his phone. Exactly how the phone is charged is the true magic act, a trick neither Marquise nor Brine are willing to expose.
At first glimpse the idea of charging your phone in a woman's vagina holds stature in it self, as a woman being source of power. Brine explained the bases of the piece in an interview with The Miami New Times saying, "Machines are being integrated into our everyday lives to the point that they are attached to us, and to the point where they give us life as much we give them life."
