Book: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Author: Tom Wolfe Publication Date: 1968
Just to make the morning I’m having a bit better… my friendly librarian, Steve Liska, has sent me a link to one of his blog projects. Steve meticulously catalogs the objects/images/things he finds inside of library books. Its beautiful. Fiendish even. I can’t seem to get enough of this blog… and… it just made me squeal!
I’m just plain giddy to make the connection to the artist Sophie Calle, who also documents human presence through observation and collection. Her series of images in which she posed as a hotel chambermaid in Venice to document the possessions of guests comes to mind. Here is a great interview with her…
I’m constantly trying to find evidence of human presence with my own work… and I think it has just made my day to take a look at this blog.
Thank you, Steve!
