Female Stereo: Artistic Or Offensive?

Latest

A reader has tipped us off to this bizarre stereo, which artist Bob Turek says is part of a project that “is focused on transforming the way we view the objects we make music with.”

The reader who sent in the tip labeled the stereo “horribly misogynistic,” and noted that it disturbed her profoundly. I’m not sure what to make of it, honestly. There are many ways I suppose a person could view it, which, I guess, is what good art provides. On one hand, it’s an interesting statement about power, in that the source of the power is the woman’s vagina. On the other hand, it’s a headless, armless woman whose breasts and vagina are being used to provide power and sound for trivial things, and Turek uses the female body as “an object.” I’m quite confused about this, and my instinct is to dislike it based on the fact that there’s a creepy sense of being used and exploited involved, but I must admit that I don’t really have a steady opinion on this one right now. What say you, commenters?
