For some reason this has never been posted to MemeStreams. I you haven't seen it before its worth a look. A series of drawings from an isometric perspective, in the style of a computer game. The subject of each drawing is the image, or images, that created a popular cultural event. Historical events (like the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the Lorraine Motel) are used interchangeably with fictionalized events (like the picnic scene from The Sound of Music).
The artist was included in a recent book about the influence of video games on art. |
