Aligning himself with Buckminster Fuller’s notion of a comprehensivist, Carnegie Mellon industrial design student Nadeem Haidary is one to watch. His provocative forays into interaction design, anthropology and information visualization command fresh perspectives.
In his Food of Art exhibition in Pittsburgh he analyses the nutritional content of twelve celebrated still life artworks including pieces by Van Gogh and Cezanne. He points to the data’s indication of the artists’ respective economic means and I’m also interested in the underlying implications encompassing taste, value and the consumption of art.
A delight for label checkers and talent hunters. See more: http://www.randomspecific.com/still-life-smooth-moves
