Although I appreciate, and really love, her writing. What got my attention was the visual representation of her stories she did for her website. OMG, dioramas, and that wonderfully quirky video – it’s a must-see.
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.
