The Word

I found myself next to this vehicle on the approach to the Bay Bridge the other day. It reminds me a bit of the artworks of Xu Bing and Wenda Gu. The Word dwells amongst us.

I think that is a pretty car. Interesting. I dont get to see this often in Singapore or something.

I agree, Becky. Actually, I don’t see this much in San Francisco either. I can’t figure out what its basic message is, though. I guess that’s one way it’s like Xu Bing and Wenda Gu.

Yes a very interesting car. There are places where such decoration could be illegal. I also think that there has been an overkill of messages.

This companion blog to www.rightreading.com explores the full gamut of print and electronic publication, from conception, research, and editing through design, typesetting, and image preparation, through paper, print, and pixel on to marketing and sales. It seeks to integrate the editorial and design functions, which too seldom communicate effectively. Books, authors, translation, and reviewing are also covered.
