Storytelling neons





Deviating from fashion today - ah well, that's what blogs are for, right? - with an art project that I'm currently drawn to. Tim Etchells created these neon signs that tell a story, spell out a message or an intimate piece of conversation. They were displayed on random street corners, roof tops and store windows and I can imagine I'd be completely sucked in if I were walking around town at midnight and would unexpectedly bump in to one of these phrases. As the artist himself puts it: "The viewer becomes implicated in a situation that's never really revealed."

They just celebrated the one year anniversary of the invention of neon, but now they're dying out because of LED. It's a strange bit of technology evolution.

I love these, I keep encountering them at press days! I found a great Cools beer one in the Nicole Levy showroom in London, http://www.rachelphipps.com/2012/04/press-day-nicole-levy-aw12-tavik-lna.html and a great Vans one at the Canoe Inc. London press day! http://www.rachelphipps.com/2012/04/press-day-canoe-inc-aw12-vans-volcom.html

I recognize them as a whole with the recent writings in my diary. :-))

Searching some grounds for a story, I always think I am bright when I write these things down, but actually I'm not.

I take this as a proof. :-)

The fish won't jump for love!

This would decorate every city. In my city(Vilnius) there are no such neon statements, but on the one riverfront from flowers is written: I Love YOU, and on the other: I Love YOU too.
