Schmoogle Image ♥♥ : “Food Coloring Vomit”
Hey Peoples, I’ll be doing some public speaking at TAG Den Haag Dec 17th at 5 PM. Come on down! The price is right…as in FREE.
So…I sometimes pay people on Mechanical Turk to make pictures for me.
For this job, I hired people to re-make a photograph, backwards and forwards, that I found online. The original lives here in the trophy room of 419eater.com, a place where reverse scammers share pictures they trick (scamming) people into taking of themselves.
Sometimes the pictures are pretty hilarious, like this one. Other times they’re just sad, but the thing that struck me about this picture, and why I guess I pay people to make it, is how it seems to transcend the cycle, intentions, meaning, money…
Even after I realized it was, probably, just about a football team.
