Mr. Yoshitoshi is a huge Mac fan, maintaining a homepage on Mac.com, releasing a self-published manga (known as “dojinshi”) for the iPhone in 20 countries and sneaking references to Apple products into his work.

After some difficulty in finding a DVI adapter for his Macbook Air, ABe began his presentation (through a translator) by talking about the human eye, and the iPhone.

One piece seemed to stand out at LA Art Weekend, the Porta Party. Although the box looks like a mobile toilet mixed with an older-generation iPod nano, it’s actually a box, that people can party in. Go in, plug in your iPod, and dance all you wish. The revolutionary anti-social device created by Nick Rodrigues allows you to party without other people, a party for yourself, by yourself, in a way. Sadly, if you need to use the toilet, the maker has not installed one inside of the device. However, the feature could technically become an accessory, add-on, or included in the next version. What’s a party without a good toilet? Of course, you probably want to know how to get ahold of this amazing piece of art/device. Nick has the device available for events and more information can be retrieved on his site. Now, go and be anti-social, party!
