Definitely having deja vu right now.
It’s just like the old days.
I wanted to write for you guys, but didn’t know what to post.
So I went to my book stack, (the extra submissions being the impetus for this blog,) and found a fascinating little zine/poster, which is definitely worth writing about.
I was curious to open up Trevor Traynor’s fold out, if for no other reason than natural human curiosity.
(When there is a puzzle to solve, we want to solve it!)
This was new for sure, as the repeating patterns of words, handles, newsstand photo, and a massive QR code grabbed my attention too.
(Beyond the primal urge to unfold.)
When I opened up newsstands.xyz, again there were instances of photos, with strong repeating design, and I was hooked enough to pull out my phone, and snap the QR code for help.
Which brought me to a website offering lots of NFT information, in various forms, and it took me a minute to acclimate.
Frankly, I stopped paying attention to the NFT scene after the umpteenth crypto crash, but what did we have here?
Mentions of AI images?
Were the photos I had AI generated?
Seemed like the timeline was off.
So I kept clicking.
An older edition, the one from my poster, were photos of newsstands taken in cities, including New York, Paris, and Lima.
A new edition, also for sale, has AI generated images of newsstands in the future, I think?
Again, I’m sharing here bc I think the original photos were really good, Trevor seems to know where things currently stand in the NFT world, and maybe where they’re headed?
A person to follow on social media, for sure.
Hope you find his zine/poster interesting, and catch you next time!
