Hi Dave, I find your intention to show background of recent bloody riots in North Africa deserve all possible attention.As you said its not completely finished.All I wish to say is that you could try to made some order in back...and perhaps for some next work you could try to make 'ideal' character of persons from both sides/'business man and dictator/.When you put face we recognize that look like whole mass is only their personal fault.But it's not and that's what you should show to all of us.

http://davemiller.org/projects/shaking_hands_with_dictators/ It's a work in progress, but here are some of my background notes: - it's a sketch with networked imports (from twitter feeds) - a sketch - but then on top it has conflicting subject matter pouring in, making shapes and textures, which conflict and subvert the message of the main drawing, or add new aspects to it. - and photos - juxtaposed - showing - uk diplomacy, shaking hands with dictators - I am trying to show the hypocrisy - talking about democracy - the uk as a beacon for democracy - while uk companies are at same time selling arms to these dictators, for profit, for them to kill their own people, while the UK then stands back from and condemns the use of violence. - doing business deals with dictators - the twitter pictures - are one step removed from the twitter feed/ comments - as each letter in the comments have been converted a->z into a picture for each letter Sorry, all a bit rushed, but would love some feedback so I can improve it many thanks dave _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
