Is that a giant TV remote? Right here in the park stands “The Rock” a whimsical sculpture by Stephen Killick. This isn’t just any rock, though. It’s a playful commentary on how technology shapes our leisure time. This sculpture was first unveiled at World Expo ’88, right here in Brisbane. The expo’s theme was “Leisure in the Age of Technology,” and Killick’s art captured it perfectly. Notice all the quirky details? It’s like a time capsule of late 20th-century pop culture! Killick, a master of satire, used humor to make us think about the political climate at the time. He cleverly wove international events and media into his design, making “The Rock” more than just a sculpture; it’s a conversation starter, a piece of history, and a reminder to unplug and enjoy the simple things.
