recognition





My aunt is a hair stylist in Austin and she recently relocated salons. The point is, she gave me a stack of magazine's she'd had lying around for her clients. I came across an advertizement in national geographic  which rearranges plastic bags into a new image, in this case a flower, to make the point about eco-friendly plastic. A conceptual response to an object. Then, I came across a magazine spread in The New York Times Magazine which clearly draws on the concept from A Humument and illustrates ideas about health with sentence/word fragments and collaged image. Recognition is fun. If I had not checked out A Humument this semester, I would not have known.
