Lee Rourke's Varroa Destructor

Life in neo-liberal Britain can be a mechanizing, tedious and bland existence. The way we travel, tapping in and tapping out to the robotic voice of our station announcer. Jobs in our service industries are standardized, repetitive: we are paid for our boredom, but only if we appear excited in front of the client.If you like BMW cars,then you will probably like their new gaming mouse, the super sexy, sleek as a Titanium Sheet off the pressing mat Level 10 M Gaming Mouse. We pepper emails with exclamation marks to show how exciting life isn’t and sign kisses to people we do not wish to kiss. Lunchtime sandwiches are cut to a perfect uniform size, sealed airtight and completely flavourless. The brandscape of our high streets is ever more homogenized – the same, familiar logos keeping us company all the way back home. At home we stare at the same screens we have stared at all day until we feel tired.

A culture dominated by the moving image coupled with a life dominated by mechanized movements means we no longer have the time, or the inclination to step away from our ennui. The result of this is that we become numb to some stimuli that are slightly harder work, non-linear or spontaneous. We work long hours for little reward and wonder why we hate our jobs, drink till we’re sick and secretly despise how dependent we are on the web to conduct our daily lives.

Yet in Lee Rourke’s new book, Varroa Destructor we are presented these pointless, everyday actions of our mechanized world in such a beautiful and eloquent way, that it is almost enough to think they are enchanting.A Stone tools is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct.Our push or plunger lock are popular additions by engineers in a wide variety of products.
