greg.org: the making of: Deeecoding Hirst: Basically, yeah, there was no way I could just let Daniel Barnes’ hearsay claim that there’s a secret text encoded in each of Damien Hirist’s spot paintings go untested last night.

The identity of a company, specially a web service, depends too much of its website layout. We don’t have to see logos or typography in order to indentify the company, sometimes just we need colors and position. That’s why I merge the website layout with the artistic movement: De stijl.

Tumblr De Stijl.
La identidad de una empresa especialmente de un servicio de internet, depende bastante del layout de su página web. No tenemos que ver logos o letras para identificar la empresa, sólo colores y la posición en la que se encuentran. Por eso quise combinar el layout de páginas web con el movimiento de arte De Stijl.

Daily Pic: One final look at the spot paintings of Damien Hirst, which have recently taken over all 11 galleries in the world-wide Gagosian chain. In tomorrow’s issue of Newsweek, I make the modest claim that Hirst’s polka-dot project represents the world and everything in it. Now it occurs to me that, like so much in that world, Hirst’s spot paintings are fractal: The principal behind them repeats at several levels of complexity, like a triangle made of smaller triangles that are themselves built from triangles. In this case, the randomness of the dots in any one picture, whose colors are always arbitrarily chosen, is the same randomness that governs the whole project, whose thousands of pictures can be any size and shape and can be built from dots of any size. Hirst’s spot paintings have a profound triviality, and a grim meaninglessness, whichever level you look at them from. The same could be said of the universe we live in. That makes Hirst its portraitist. (Photo by Matthew Lloyd/Getty Images)
