I'm so excited for tonight's launch of Orb Mini!

I'm a launch partner for this innovative new household scheduling device and have been testing it on my studio for the last few weeks. Orb Intelligence® has really streamlined my workstream.

Join Orb Mini's launch party tonight at 218 W. Saratoga Street, Baltimore MD, 6–9PM. I can't be there in person but I will be monitoring all interaction remotely. Enjoy this exclusive preview of Orb Mini!

This artwork, which monitors the room with a YOLO-powered camera, acts like a voice assistant that never listens to you. It just tells you how you could grind harder and make more revenue (or, alternatively, what you should purchase).

"Did you know that January 22 is National Cinnamon Bun Day? Thanks to Orb Pro automatic ordering, your thirty-six pack of cinnamon buns will be delivered hot and fresh in two hours. Please be ready to enjoy this tasty treat by ensuring the Orb drone landing area is clear of pets, children, or other obstructions. You can control automatic ordering in the Orb app."

After a few minutes you'll likely want to turn it off, and good news, there's a big red button; if you hold it down, over its protests, you'll "erase" it; it is replaced by birdsong or ocean waves. For a few minutes anyhow.

It is really cursed. It brings me such joy to kill it with the button. I'll capture/edit some videos soon.

And of course there's "Orb Pro," for professional users. Orb's throwing a launch party at 201 Prince Street, Alexandria, VA, on Sunday the 1st, 4–6PM! Thanks Orb!!!!

(This is my sculptural artwork which is an obnoxious faux voice assistant continuously telling you how much you should be buying stuff. Until you hold the red button and annihilate it.)
