Aquesta obra és una paròdia d’una sèrie de YouTube en què un home sotmet smartphones nous a condicions extremes: per exemple, els bull en Coca-Cola o els submergeix en brom líquid. Més que no pas un homenatge als valors de «moure’s de pressa i trencar coses» promoguts per Silicon Valley, aquest vídeo, rodat en un carrer de Bushwick (Brooklyn, Nova York) amb una estufa portàtil, explora com es podrien emprar materials quotidians per portar la interfície blanca dominant de la tecnologia a un món diferent, negre. De quina manera es pot descolonitzar una interfície?
