This project, in a style that I call "1970s didactic art," came about when I was thinking about the poorly developed state of the audience for serious photography and also about the confused state of liberalism in the United States.

The ideas sort of merged in my mind.

Confused?

What you are looking at is a diagram of a network of references from one book or DVD to another. It is built by taking a book (Last Day of Summer, Jock Sturges) and drawing lines with pointy arrows to other books. The connection is that people who purchased Last Day of Summer also purchased the books that the lines point to. Then those books are in turn linked to more books based upon what other books those customers purchased. The data is supplied by Amazon.com.

It reveals, among other things, the nature of the dominant audience for this book. Surprised at the company you keep?
