I think you're jumping to the conclusion that that's the point. Certainly many see removing the power possessions have over us as a positive, but art around this subject could be exploring it from different angles, and I don't see that stated anywhere in this installation. It could well be a celebration of consumerism[1], or just an exploration of obsession over possession.

That's a fair read of the piece, I think I'm trying to subconsciously shoehorn my dislike of minimalism into my interpretation.
Curious: Whence comes the dislike?
I'm a countercultural asshole =\
So you're antiminimalist because Jonathan Ive is pro-? That seems an odd criterion. What would you do if he changed his style?
