RE: How to crumble a Cookie, or the first steps to internet privacy
Nice painting! I especially appreciate your decision to distort the QR code as an arc (instead of cropping it to a circle, or bulging it out to be round). The shape resonates well with the eyes, and with the (essential) letter "C".
My only criticism is that the figure traversing the QR landscape is a little understated. Ghostly is good here, but their gesture or action could be a little louder. Perhaps there's a way for the collaged landscape to infiltrate their body and let some of the shapes of their crossed legs become louder as collaged QR elements too. Mixing drawing and collage is not easy, and I appreciate that you're taking on something challenging with your work! Keep going - you're heading in a good direction.
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! That's a fair critique. I've been considering touching up the figure. I also should have noted, the qr codes can be scanned, with a little bit of effort, and lead to different things. Including a private key. This painting is also a wallet
Hah, that's awesome! I had a feeling the QR codes wouldn't just hold random data. I tested four of them in the foreground using Photoshop's "perspective warp" tool to straighten them out to a machine-readable square. Reminds me of the maze-like websites that Radiohead used to make. Nice job!
