SCREENSHOTS (2-24)

SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.
Detail from Luigi Russolo’s Dynamism of a Car (1913). This month, I worked on posts for the years 1912–1914, for the RADIUM AGE ART series.
Working on a major, multi-market beverage marketing project this month (continued from last year). My screenshots folder is replete with this sort of thing.
The REPO YOUR ENTHUSIASM series, dedicated to “offbeat” movies from the Eighties (1984–1993), is shaping up very nicely so far. Coming in 2Q2024.
Zooming with Matthew Battles…
Continuing to do interviews with commercial semioticians worldwide, for the MAKING SENSE WITH… series at SEMIOVOX.
Detail from an (only slightly uncanny; see top right corner, and of course the hands!) AI-assisted illustration for HILOBROW’s serialization of Irene Clyde’s Beatrice the Sixteenth.
Dedications from two of the many books of poetry (1910s – 1920s) that I’ve been reading online, as I continue to research for the RADIUM AGE POETRY series.
Starting up in March, a new series: FIRST TIME AS COMEDY. Via which I will investigate the first-time-as-comedy phenomenon (or syndrome). Example shown here (Frazetta painting detail) from the installment GULLIVAR JONES vs. JOHN CARTER.
I’m the “convenor” for the SEMIOFEST SESSIONS — online, informal chats among commercial/applied semiotic practitioners worldwide. Here’s Mariane Cara (Brazil) dropping some Peirce and Jamiroquai on us, on the 23rd.
Two screenshots (one from Meh.com, the other from a 1914 book of poetry) that I sent to my friend and collaborator Rob Walker. If you know Rob and his work, then you’ll understand why I thought these might amuse him.
