KirbstrThe Fail Whale was a meme in the early years of Twitter when the site would go down a lot. It ended up being a lovable symbol often used to make fun of the service. They did away with it years ago. In this piece, Fail Whale is made up of small golden birds, every one of them unique. In the actual artwork, you can see each individual bird well, with the most perfect up near the top of the whale and its tail... (1/?)
... but they disintegrate into monstrous deformed and sometimes skeletal figures towards the bottom. The Fail Whale is also held down by a net (the original Fail Whale was lifted by a net down by birds). What is holding this net down is obscured by clouds. This work symbolizes the promise of social media with the reality that each social media site is only worth what it can milk from its members. (2/3)
And while the holes in the net are definitely large enough for any individual member to escape, it's unlikely anyone will.
