Dadanoias Findings!

Amazing Archive of Kitschy and Dazzling Movie Posters

Semiotic spelunker of the visual, dadanoias.net finds the most amazing thing on the internets; for instance, this archive of movie poster scans--one of the best I have seen!

XicanOsmosis: Woody Allen Style!

And Now for Something Completely Different...

I just can't get enough of this blog; click above for the link and then spelunk the site!

Clichés and Stereotypes

The obsessions of Tex[t]-Mex and the predilections of Eyegiene fold together nicely in the archival work, photography, collage, etc that you find at Dadanoias.net. Her latest series of self-portraits, meditating provocatively on the nature of cliches are more than curious. NSFW if your work finds breasts offensive.

Dadanoias's Eyegiene

All over the web there are people travailing as eyegienic archivists--sentient visual agents with this uncanny, superhuman capacity to see--a visual acuity that marries the archival instincts of a bookhead like Borges to the mischievous vision of Helmut Newton.

These latter days fusions of Michel Foucault and Manuel Alvarez Bravo plumb the depths of the world wide web in search of eye-candy; then, they hold it for us to study.

"Dadanoias" is one of these figures: an artist, photographer, eye-chivist, and model--her site is here. What I ran across on her site was this super cool kids book filled with representations of people from 7 different cultures--the Mexican one, pictured here, is priceless.


More soon.
