Long time no see.

There have been a lot of changes, to my habits and to this platform. From the start, lagubeko was my way of collecting the kind of work that spoke to my visual and thematic interests. So I think it makes sense that posts completely dropped off when I went to grad school and found a different, productive outlet.

lagubeko will be here, like an inactive volcano. And in the meantime, I'm trying something new. If you're interested in sometimes getting an email with two cool (probably), exciting (maybe), vaguely related works of art/design/illustration/cinema/literature/etc. set side by side and annotated, take this under consideration:

One Hand, and the Other by Emil Salto has been on my books wishlist for a long while. It is impeccably designed to depict two hands turning the blank pages of a book, such that you see one half of each photograph, then the other once you turn the page.

The fragmenting of images and simultaneity of the panels makes reading this piece feel like being showered in a cascade of broken glass or like watching it pass in a river. Really gorgeous work.

Brenna by Allie Doersch

My submission for this year´s Comics Workbook Composition Competition 2015.

Brenna is Icelandic for Burn, and my inspiration for this comic derives from the difficult balance between destruction and renewal that comes from wildfires.

Robert Fresson for It's Nice That's brief history of brutalist architecture.

Makes me think of Herge's Tintin.

From Willy Chyr's Manifold Garden, a game you navigate by changing the direction of gravity in an MC Escher-esque world.

Sun Kai Qiang photographs his school, the China Academy of Art, in the series School Selfie. The faded white and peach pinks make up a place that seems to just barely exist.

Elena Boils' illustrations are a lovely mix of digital and hand-drawn, geometric and organic. She's got interests in space and surrealism, which I appreciate.

The Ghost in the MP3:

"moDernisT" was created by salvaging the sounds and images lost to compression via the MP3 and MP4 codecs. The audio is comprised of lost mp3 compression material from the song "Tom's Diner" famously used as one of the main controls in the listening tests to develop the MP3 encoding algorithm. Here we find the form of the song intact, but the details are just remnants of the original. The video is the MP4 ghost of a corresponding video created in collaboration with Takahiro Suzuki. Thus, both audio and video are the "ghosts" of their respective compression codecs.
