The Birth of Kim Jong Il - Fact or Fiction?
How far will leaders go to lie to their people? If you do any research on the North Korea regime, you will learn that they’ll go pretty far. I created this propaganda artwork to give a different perspective to his birth.
Watch the video below to see Good Magazine’s comparison between the facts and myths of his birth.

“Immerse yourself in the energetic, innovative and potentially illegal world of mash-up media with RiP: A remix manifesto. Let web activist Brett Gaylor and musician Greg Gillis, better known as Girl Talk, serve as your digital tour guides on a probing investigation into how culture builds upon culture in the information age.”
Just bought RiP: A remix manifesto from B-Side. Pretty good documentary with some great video work. Really launches into a gray area that our country and people morally struggle with, “Is the borrowing of data and other digital elements stealing?”. I won’t voice my opinion on the subject but I will say that music, art, or anything creative is commonly unoriginal. With the masses of people producing art and music in a culture’s lifetime, not often can somenoe say “I’m the only one who had this idea”. This aligns with my belief that in creative work, “some snowflakes are the same”, even if the idea wasn’t influenced by someone else, it just happens that minds think the same.

What makes you drop a dollar into a donation jar when buying something?
” dunno…marketing message…that’s why I do it”
“i would have to say the marketing message, cool presentations and easiness don’t really sway me. it’s the story/cause behind it all”
“Message or ease. Images of suffering have become too ubiquitous to make me think a $1 donation will change the world.”
“for me it depends on the cause…but i would say the the message”
“I respond to humor. If I saw a donation jar that said; “please help the starving children in Africa.” I would be far less apt to respond than if that same jar said something like; “Family kidnapped by ninja’s. Taking donations for karate lessons.” I think most people are desensitized to the horror in the world due to being perpetually bombarded by the media and are for more likely to respond to a sign that brightens their day a little by making them laugh.”
“message and the emotional bound to that message…imagery supports the message and really really helps”
“i think it’s a combination of all three, but for me, mostly the imagery…like, if i see a cute dog, i’ll probably donate”
“pictures of puppies, robots or ninjas usually does the trick. Something out of the ordinary.
“I would say imagery first
“hmm…dollar…I do it with change….but just because its there”
“because it’s easy”
“because its easy….i think the less work people have to do the more they will give”
“lol, um all…you have to notice it, you have to believe its actually going to leave the jar, whitty megssage helps the grab”
“well all 3 i suppose…it has to be easy first…and then I guess it’s less about the actual image and more about whether I understand the message quickly from the combination of imagery and text”
“usually don’t donate to a company unless I know the background of where the $$ are going….so I usually don’t donate to a at the register type of place….there are just so many organizations, who are non profit, but waste the money”
“hot cashier”

*I feel the need to post this because of the recent actions by North Korea. I hope it’ll give a little more background about the people living in North Korea and what they are faced with when they try to defect. Not everyone in North Korea is bad, most are raised from birth to hate Americans and after they escape North Korea’s rule they express how silly it was that they hated.
Here is a short narrative piece I worked on about a very common life that North Korean women refugees are faced with. This story is based on various interviews with North Korean defectors and then retold in a story format. Learn more at www.linkglobal.org/9lives

What do you do when you have a hard time getting feedback from fellow workers? You wheat paste a sign that requires one suggestion with every compliment.
