Epic Fail (research)
My research into the symbolism of anonymous online folk culture, universality of Internet image formats and the its consequences on languages of graphic design and contemporary art got synthesized into the publictation on Folk & Elite we did at Sandberg Instituut as part of Nina Folkersma's class. More images of the actual magazine coming soon. Meanwhile there is more to see at http://katjanovi.net/epicfail.html.

The Collective Man
Yearbookyourself.com collage, my contribution for 'The Collective' publication we did together with Luna Maurer and Roel Wouters. ‘The Collective’ is a publication on the dynamics of collectives in the context of online social networks. Sandberg Instituut 2008.
The Collective Man is a Chinese Superhero, it is an identity shared by Jackson 5 brothers (Sun, Chang, Ho, Lin, and Michael Jackson), a set of quintuplets. They possess the mutant power to merge into one body, which variously possesses the collective strength of all five men or of all of the people of China. The brothers also share a psychic/spiritual link that allows them to telepathically communicate and teleport to one another. Can You Feel It?
