We – me, toine, ph – were the fab 3,
digging deep in creative-mess and geek-i-ness to deliver an experimental piece for this issue of Born mag.
See the piece here: Born mag: Lydia Sparrow.
About the project:
This is an experience where we try to visually measure the impact of art on the viewer – in this case, on the reader of a chosen poem called “Lydia Sparrow”. While experiencing the poem, readers will be asked to identify their feelings regarding what they are reading. This will result in a new piece of art–generated by the impact of the poem on the reader–
that combines random pictures created by random users from around the world. This use of Flickr’s API creates a unique and evolving piece of art in which thousands of humans will be participating.
You are invited to post and/or discuss your art piece here –
