Lunchmeat

Last night, I followed through on an idea I had wanted to put to action for awhile: creating a wall collage of NY Times headlines, captions, and photos. Jenneric and I worked on it last night, using about three back issues of NYT, and I think it looks pretty fucking cool so far.

Sure, the double sided tape sucks and shit keeps falling down because of my fan, but I think having to avoid frustration is part of the fun too. The rules of the collage are simple:

1. Only use The New York Times print edition.
2. No full articles or pages.

Thus, in the end, the entire wall will be full with newspaper stuff and no white space will be able to be found. Cutting out random headlines also lends itself to a lot of out-of-context fun, like: “A Storied Apple, Struggling to Hold Its Own Among Grapes,” or “Slowly Grasping the Adult World and Its Secrets.”

I can’t find a good angle to take a photo of it yet, and it’s not nearly finished. Stay tuned.
