Hello,

I made a cut up poetry collage that forms a picture of Abraham Lincoln being assassinated at Ford's Theater. It is made up of words which have themes related to open source model, open culture and sharing. The style of art itself is much like a remix so I felt that the people here would enjoy it.

I had a friend make a flash applet so you could zoom and pan around to read the words:

Here is a very very very small preview in which you cannot read the words and therefore is not that interesting but may give you an idea:

Any Questions Comments or Critique?

I was trying to find a way to show the original at defcon if there is interest or maybe submit a print to the EFF auction.

I am an art freak. I find what you did to be interesting. What led you down this path? Care to share?

Regards,

valkyrie

I can relate, but sadly my tastes in art far exceed my wallet. :-(

Heck, I might be interested in purchasing a print, should you choose to sell them. Depending on interest, selling prints for EFF might be an option. Which would clear more money for the EFF?

I was actually talking to them before I posted this and it seems they are interested. I just wanted to make sure the Defcon community would be interested so that EFF could make some money.

Re: Thousands of Words are Worth a Picture

I would buy one of those, though I'm not much of an art or poetry person, but it's very appealing, and if they don't sell it, I'll just have to get my own :)
