Selfie sticks, for better or worse, have taken the world by storm.

无论结果是好是坏，自拍杆已经席卷全球。

However, a pair of US artists believe they have gone one better, with a selfie arm.

然而，两位美国艺术家相信，他们发明了一种更好的自拍神器——“自拍臂。

The gadget makes those in the picture look as though they are holding hands with a loved one.

这个小工具能让照片里的人看起来就像是在与爱人手牵手。

Created by New Mexico artists Aric Snee and Justin Crowe,the pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick.

“自拍臂的发明者是新墨西哥州艺术家艾瑞克•斯内和贾斯汀•克洛。他们表示，“自拍臂能提供比自拍杆更好的拍摄体验。

They say they are fascinated by the idea of technology and its illusionary 'connectedness' and 'sociableness'.

他们表示已为这种技术营造出来的“陪伴感和“亲和感而着迷。

They describe their invention as 'the sarcastic solution to a quintessential problem — nobody wants to look alone while they mindlessly snap pictures of themselves.'

两位艺术家还认为，自己的发明“以一种讽刺的方法解决了自拍中最实质的问题——没有人想在随兴自拍时显得太过孤单。

The product, currently just an art project, 'conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. and better yet, it doesn't talk or have emotions of any sort.'

该产品目前只是一个艺术项目，“为你提供一个温暖的手臂。更好的是，它不言不语，也不会闹任何情绪。

The 'selfie arm' is made of fiberglass, is lightweight and portable, 'and fortunately only a prototype,' the pair say.

他们称，“自拍臂由玻璃纤维制成，重量轻，携带方便，“而且幸好只是一个模型。

The collaborative project is a direct commentary on the growing selfie stick phenomenon, and the constant, gnawing need for narcissistic internet validation.

这一合作项目直接反映了当前日益风靡的自拍杆现象，以及不断增长的自恋度和网络认同感需求。
