Let's Talk About Ceps

These look like pieces of evidence that a couple of sleuths might ponder over, trying to figure out where and when the devious killer will strike next, in the next series of True Detective.

And I mean that in the best possible way.

I really like this one. Good drawing skills. Can you explain what's going on? Is it that there is not just a tip of an iceberg but tips of icebergs??
I was mostly just trying to use visual language to collapse the field of possible ideological formations into a homogeneous medium, which was part of the broader goal of establishing how/that ideological space can be navigated in a schizoanalytic sort of way, e.g. how I went from poststructural marxist to thermodynamic capitalist to rechtsstaat liberal.

I forget if the peaks were actually meant to signify anything. I see that I noted that the colored strata don't signify anything, aside from z-depth for visual purposes.

john cussans' blog - he's just co-edited a whole book on diagrams and use in art


looks really good.

cussans is the one who wrote a book on voodoo, and he's also done a film about northern soul

Er no not really. I mean I found the theory behind it all and so on pretty interesting (though no doubt completely out of date by now) but the actual daily grind and all the wankers with cufflinks saying Buy and Sell... that was just boring and depressing.
