The image above is every Playboy centerfold from the 1990's layered on top of one another. Jason Salavon is a digital artist who writes his own software code that creates new images out of many many other images. I think his work is relevant to our class in that it allows us to see how one can take an existing image or idea and make it unique while still seeming familiar. Below is an image titeld "374 Farben" which contains of every page of the 2006 IKEA catalog reduced to a single color. As designers we are always looking for ways to represent images and information, Salavon's work is a great example of how one can do so in an interesting and innovative way.

These images are very unique. I thought for a second that the first image was the Virgin Mary that people seem to see often.
ReplyDeleteThose are so cool. I read Keith's comment first so I saw the Virgin Mary too! Ironic, once I read what it really was...
ReplyDeleteWow, that first image is really beautiful. I've never seen something like that before. I wonder what the artist's intent is.
ReplyDeleteI kind of see the Virgin Mary, I love the texture in this though.
ReplyDeleteI love the first one it's even more interesting knowing what it is.
ReplyDeleteI like how I can still make out a woman figure in the top one,cool image!
ReplyDeleteThe outline of the composite naked ladies actually reminds me of Bottecelli's Birth of Venus. Classy!
ReplyDeleteJeff Carter was my professor for ART 200 and he showed us this image!!
ReplyDeleteOur class talked about how the top image goes to show that Playboy has marketed a specific image of how women look like.
Very obscure idea, I think that this is the first time I have heard of this layering technique being executed in this sort of fashion.
