The Heart of a Broken Story

EVERY day Justin Horgenschlag, thirty-dollar-a-week printer’s assistant, saw at close quarters approximately sixty women whom he had never seen before. Thus in the few years he had lived in New York, Horgenschlag had seen at close quarters about 75,120 different women. Of these 75,120 women, roughly 25,000 were under thirty years of age and over fifteen years of age. Of the 25,000 only 5,000 weighed between one hundred five and one hundred twenty-five pounds. Of these 5,000 only 1,000 were not ugly. Only 500 were reasonably attractive; only 100 of these were quite attractive; only 25 could have inspired a long, slow whistle. And with only 1 did Horgenschlag fall in love at first sight.....

I saw some of this stuff in a new book I bought, Tactile, which has been very inspiring to me. Zipper linked me to his page.

As a side note--My inability to properly edit the html in blogger is pissing me off.

ING, Puma and Lacoste logos placed on various locations in The Netherlands. Followed by a "dead pixel" on google earth followed by a pump placed in potholes that creates fountains when it rains

Intervention

From my teacher, Rebecca Ross at St Martin's this summer:

"I guess, I
would encourage you to think of a way to be more active or
participatory in relation to the missed connections, rather than just
documenting them. Can you get involved, post some stuff on craigslist
-- what kinds of things can a graphic designer do to intervene in
situations rather than just record them?"

hmmm.

Chalk art graffiti

So a few weeks ago everytime I would come out of the subway I would see a tracing of a fire hydrant's shadow made out of chalk, and I always thought it was really awesome until the rain washed it away. I found out who's responsible for it.
