An Apple iPad mini and a Samsung Tab 3 tablet computer were wrapped in steel by traditional metal workers in the old city of Cairo. Only the charging sockets of the devices remain accessible. They will be charging for a long time. The devices are detached from their usual promise of connectivity, immateriality, and progress: Their functionality is reduced to its bare minimum – charging – whilst the smoothness and perfection of their mass manufactured surface is replaced by the irregularity of the manually constructed steel enclosures.
