où est ma vie ? by jonquille jolie
. . . as being a carnivore. i finally allowed myself to take some time and sit down with a site that my roommate isabelle showed me sometime during the school year. it's basically like doing digital collage with items that you could purchase by clicking on them.
doing this made me realize part of the reason for this blog: to locate and present what i like and question why i like it. what are the forces, societal, aesthetic, ethical, that drive me to say, "i like this." making these collages is time consuming--with access to sites such as etsy and fffound.com--and, i will admit, fun. but hey, at least i'm not spending money. . . right?
a little bit of the process once you decide to "publish" your "set" (collage):
"Title: où est ma vie ?
Category (please pick one):
[all three] Fashion/Interior Design/Art & Expression
Trend/Ocasion (e.g., plaid, Rihanna, bohemian, work):
materialism
Groups:
[both] Colorado, Jul 11th 09
Post to Twitter:
NO."
do you think the polyvore "publish" process is too complex?
ReplyDeleteno. actually i like that there are these things to consider when publishing a "set." i'm just critical of our reasons for making these sets (i.e. consumerist motives that we are not aware of, idolizing posessions). i had a lot of fun putting this together--it's like a digital version of the collages i've been making since i was little. i'm also very interested in layout and graphic design, so it was fun--or good practice--in that respect.
ReplyDeletei really like the Klimt sets on the Polyvore blog. there used to be a feature in a magazine called Domino (which is no longer in publication) that turned an outfit into a room; the Klimt sets turn paintings into outfits. love it.
