Do you ever play around with StumbleUpon? I could get lost for hours using their cool website-finding service (I don’t really know how else to refer to it). Here are a couple of things that caught my eye recently.
First, “Lying” typography digital art by RenzGFX:
I like this graphic first because it looks cool and kind of retro, but also because it hints at a much deeper story. It reminds me of the Six Word Memoir concept, which itself was inspired by Hemmingway’s short story: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” In this case, you wonder who they are and who the narrator is, and what the lies are and why they happen and what they hide. Interesting stuff.
The other cool thing I saw recently is this ongoing photography project by Argentinian artist Irina Werning called Back to the Future, where subjects reenact old photographs from their childhood.
It’s kind of surreal to see people posed exactly the way they were captured in old photographs, and you wonder what has happened in the gulf between their childhood self and their adult self to make them who they are now. She’s got another installment coming out in a few months; I’m excited to see more of the project.
