I don’t normally post items of art and design. I digest quite a bit on the subject so I know that the internet has enough voices on the subject, but I found about a certain visual artist through the aggregator blog NOTCOT that I felt warranted another word.
Chad Hagen’s infographics are what got him a plug on the site, but I found his Historical Fragments to be the most intriguing. He took some famous imagery and pixelated the most iconic parts of it, lending it a look of something censored or unfinished. It reminds me of things coming into focus or something that is still loading or processing. This is further explored through the addition of dates into the pieces. This Abe Lincoln isn’t my favorite but follow the links and check out the rest of his portfolio.
