Falling out of love with efficiency by Courtney Martin
Rob Walker • Pareidolia Prompts
I find this notion of pareidolia and Zinn’s way of working with it, of supplementing it, inspiring. Catching a glimpse of one of his works before it disappears has a potential to add a mythological quality to the environment that will persist in memory and possibly the undercurrent of their reality. The way he builds on the themes over times in the same spot adds to this. He adds the magic to the world that people see out of the corner of their eyes and then dismiss. People are longing for this type of whimsy and fairy dust. It is a way of seeing the world that is generally left in childhood but that should maybe be nurtured instead. It is similar to the easter eggs that game designers leave in their designs that are found by gamers and treasured that build a mythology within the game and are maybe almost accumulated in personal identity.
