I can’t think of any better way to categorize some of the people and websites that I am drawn to. It’s simply a crush, and Jenny Holzer is one of those people. Here are a couple of links to her work, on wikipedia and twitter. I don’t know if the twitter updates are actually coming from Jenny Holzer, but it’s a great way to discover her Truisms, started in 1977.

Truisms by Jenny Holzer:

ROMANTIC LOVE WAS INVENTED TO MANIPULATE WOMEN

MYTH CAN MAKE REALITY MORE INTELLIGIBLE

TO DISAGREE PRESUPPOSES MORAL INTEGRITY

FAKE OR REAL INDIFFERENCE IS A POWERFUL PERSONAL WEAPON
