"The knobs and switches and green-screen readouts from a pre-digital era incite sci-fi whimsy and Cold War dread with every click and snap of this highly interactive piece. It's both fun and thoughtful."—John Serba, "John Serba's 10 Favorite ArtPrize 2015 Entries," MLIVE.com.
"My fave at UICA was a sweeping, multipart installation by Charles Jevremovic of South Bend, Ind. He has stuffed an entire gallery with creaky, mid-20th-Century vintage rocket scene detritus: mainframes, glowing screens, gauges, knobs, buttons. It's like a 1950s version of the future. Even better is the artist's huge wall sculpture nearby seemingly made of deconstructed computer innards cast in greens, blacks and mustards. It reads like a modular abstract painting from the same era."— "Quality is Up at Art Prize: Don't Miss These Works" by Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press
"Operating these switches is highly satisfying." —Rick DeVoss, founder of ArtPrize, on Twitter.
"Best Place to Capture an Intriguing Selfie." —ArtPrize: Best of the Best Bets, Rapid Growth Media.

"Technician 3 shows the modern side of art through the technological age with interactivity in the form of sound, sight and touch. The artist, Charles Jevremovic of South Bend, brings together the mechanical nature of art and inspires thoughts of the human touch that went into the making and use of the retired devices." —Ben Snider, The Rapidian, September, 16, 2015
