A Feast For Untired Eyes

I keep wanting to click on more and more pages of Flavorwire, the blog by Flavorpill, “a network of culturally connected people.”

Because the site points to a multitude of visual oddities and things that make one wonder. Like “Masks for the Modern Tribe” by artist Jud Wimhurst.

The contemporary masks he envisions are adorned with familiar iconography from companies such as McDonald’s and Chanel. His culture jamming art dares to question the practice of defining individuals in terms of their purchases.

For a bit more Flavorwire in your media diet, see Awesome Infographic: Six Degrees of Inspiration, Voltaire to Moby and Propaganda Posters for Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
