Jonny Greenwood

The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.

Philosophy can be found in every aspect of life. During the Urban-Fabric-Art Walks, meaning could even be found in an alley. You just had to ask yourself... where does this lead? what history lies in the walls? could this bring me to an atlernate universe? Ask yourself any question.... and I bet that there are a few words of wisdom that could be matched up with that statement. For this reason, philosophy wll always be relevant. It can be considered stagnant, but also every changing. Everything that contradicts itself is probably a philosophy. Although, some are more wise than others....

Purpose: I assigned the quotes to the images based on either relevance or irrelevance. I matched certain quotes with certain people based on the probability of whether they would actually ever mention the quote. For example, I paired pictures of Sean with existentialism quotations since he is very interested in the philosophy of existentialism. I used other quotes to try to evoke a sense of humor. For example, I put a quote about art beside the "pin the tail on the beaver" picture since most would not consider this black and white child's game to be art. In this case, I have used the philosophy quote in order to challenge social norms and expectations. In other cases, I would animate objects by attaching personifying quotes with them. A clear example of this would be with the dead christmas tree. I would also use the quotes along with graffiti images in order to create a story within the image. It changes the intended story of the creator, and is manipulated into the story within the quotation. It is left up to the reader to interpret what the quote and image are trying to say.
