plastics

there’s something fantastic about taking something so terrible and making it into a wonderful piece of art.

yet again, i’m ridiculously broke. i hate finances (and especially spending with debit/credit cards) just bunches right now. so i thought this article, which highlighted an art exhibit at the graphic design museum in the netherlands, was great. adam eeuwens, who writes for the museum’s magazine, analyzes the role cards (credit cards, gift cards, room key cards, etc.) have played over the last 40+ years.

and the exhibit (see more here) is beautiful. the entire thing is made of plastic cards used or designed by the museum’s patrons. it makes me feel a little better to find visual appeal in such a shitty aspect of modern (or maybe debt is so post-modern) life.
