Day 18: Mountain View Cemetery

Moutain View Cemetery

I was thinking that each tombstone should have a QR-code-style barcode to scan with your cell phone for biographies of the deceased.

  • I like the idea.
    Interesting to think about what people could have been.
    The honesty would be interesting, but it would also be amazing to be told tall tales or elaborated truths.
    I really do love the idea.

  • I like the idea of the imagined space of an electronic database being direcly compared to the imagined space of both history and the after life.

  • this is wonderful. for a second, I thought this was a Jason Das post but then i noticed that the digital color (which looks quite nice). I LOVE Mountain View Cemetery, I used to live really close to it. My old roommate told me the inventor the Dollar Store is buried there!

  • Thanks, thefabricator. Seems like we agree that graveyards could use a tech upgrade. I want marquee lights at the very least.

    Thanks, also, Hellen for the flattering comparison. Just checked out Jason’s work. His stuff is beautiful.

    I would like to pay respects to the inventor of the Dollar Store on my next visit… I guessing plastic flowers would be a appropriate.

  • This is lovely. i too didn’t recognize it as yours because it was so different and lush compared to the comic strip pencils/inks.

    digital coloring a snapshot of a sketchbook = priceless.
