I left off the last post with the question – “Which visual elements were taken from the image on the right and recontexted to make the image on the left?”
If you compare the images and try to pick out which icon elements were taken from the image on the right, and then recombined to make the image on the left, you come out with the following array (Can you see how they have been recontexted to make the new image?):
Now let’s make this table of selected images “flow into” the new image that they are used to create:
It could be said that the new image is built upon the elements that have been taken from images that existed before it:
I have shown the images that came before in earlier posts a couple of weeks ago, in their own contexts. When I was reviewing them (I’m sure all bloggers must look over their past posts from time to time), I decided to play around with taking parts (elements) of the images that already existed, and recombining them to form new images.
So this has been an experiment in creating new images by taking parts of other images, and recombining them in context. It’s fun to do this, even though it kind of “messes with the mind” as you do it. But then again, A Mind is a Wonderful Thing to Mess With, In a Creative Manner…
