today i spent the day in virtual austin texas...here comes zingrecs austin!!! there is quite a budding art scene there. so many people wanting collaboration on all levels, and wanting to tell everyone about it....blog blog blog!
one of my favorite things i saw today made me think again about how impossible it can seem at times to really be individual. how can anyone be unique when we are constantly bombarded by advertisements, images, and sounds(usually linked to loveable pop songs!)telling us what to wear, buy, eat, drink, and think.
artist jeongmee yoon worked on a project in which she photographed young children surrounded by their belongings. check it out to see what kids love. are you surprised?

terri thomas' work is a lovely example of the effects of social conditioning and the desires of girls. does the subconscious love of barbie ever leave us?

and finally, one of my favorite artists who has managed to create a poetic revolution. he is smart, clever, and has a little something to say about getting told what to think and consume. if you miss the point check your vitals please!
