Internet Soul Portraits (I.S.P.)
2005
I.S.P. is a tongue-in-cheek treatment of Web design as pure representation. In this project, familiar images are altered by the application of essentialist, reductive strategies from a painterly tradition. The images are derived from the home pages of some of the most popular sites on the Internet: Yahoo, Google, MSN, Amazon, CNN, eBay, The Weather Channel, MapQuest, Best Buy, and MySpace.
