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.
Poster created by Lucia Laurent-Neva for this month’s Semiofest Session.
Continuing to work on a QSR Crafted Beverage project with colleagues from around the world. Here’s a Starbucks social media post from China.
Continuing to add Radium Age art examples. File this one under 1922: UTOPIA / DYSTOPIA.
For a future installment in the series NOT TODAY, EBAY.
During their January term, I continued to act as an informal advisor to two RISD MID (the Industrial Design Master’s program) students. I dig their thesis projects!
From an Instagram post about HILOBROW’s serialization of Charlie Mitchell’s excellent post-apocalyptic novella Transhumance.
Screenshot from Hitchock’s The Lady Vanishes. For my own installment in HILOBROW’s series CAHUN YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
Detail from a collage by Jim Hanas, for his forthcoming LOU REED’S NEPHEW series here at HILOBROW.
Detail from photo of an artwork by Ana Mendieta. For a recent “off”-OFF TOPIC post by Adam McGovern here at HILOBROW.
Detail of a photo submitted by Lucy Sante, as an illustration for her installment in the upcoming HILOBROW series MEDIA DIET.
I continue to interview semioticians from around the world for the SEMIOVOX series MAKING SENSE.
A few Midjourney-generated images from January:
Playing around with ideas for a poster illustration for an upcoming Semiovox Session on Mythical Semiotics.
Ramona Lyons and I continue to work on developing a semiotics-driven story telling / decoding card game. (We’ll debut and play-test the game at Semiofest Warsaw in May!) Though we’ll use a human illustrator for the final product, for now we’re using Midjourney.
Just having fun. The “G-Schema” (example here, from my 2021 book The Adventurer’s Glossary) is a semiotic code- and territory-mapping tool of my invention.
