Selfie lovers may have a new toy to fuel their obsession: the MacBook Selfie Stick. That's right, someone actually made a selfie stick for the Apple laptop.

If lugging around a selfie stick for a smartphone is not enough, imagine what enthusiasts can now do thanks to this innovation.

The brains behind the selfie stick is a website which has images of artists using the contraption with their MacBook in tow around New York, including popular haunts such as Washington Square Park and Times Square.

In some of the images, one can spot passers-by looking understandably bemused and puzzled by what's going on.

Before you get all excited and keen on acquiring the MacBook Selfie Stick, hold on to your horses as it is not for sale. The MacBook Selfie Stick is basically an art piece photo series. The innovative series is credited to Tom Galle, John Yuvi and Moises. The three artists are not new to technology-oriented art piece concepts.

Unlike regular selfie sticks, the MacBook Selfie Stick is bigger than the traditional ones and this is largely due to the fact that it needs to hold a 2-pound Apple laptop aloft. By the looks of the selfie stick, one will need to hold it into position with both their hands when taking a selfie. This completely negates the purpose of a selfie stick in the first place.

Whether the image series is a sardonic attempt on the part of the artists to highlight the obsession with the self and technology is a possibility. By using an object that is absurd compared its original form, the artists could be blatantly attempting to offer a mirror into the self-obsessive selfie culture, which is permeating through society and delineating our value systems.

Since art and literature are widely believed to be a mirror of society, the picture series is possibly intentionally magnifying the culture we are gravitating towards.
