New Conceptual Art Project for 2015: COLLABORATION STOCK PHOTOS

Stock photography is abysmal.

Over the last decade or so, I have attempted to change this fact in a couple of concrete ways:

Now I have a new way: my COLLABORATION STOCK PHOTOS project. The first thing you need to know about this project is that it is always capitalized. The second thing you need to know is that you have to take part in this project in order for it to be successful!

COLLABORATION STOCK PHOTOS

The goal of this project is to recreate and propagate as many stock photos representing the word “collaboration” as possible. Here’s how we’ll do it:

  • We’ll find stock photos that are sold to illustrate the word “collaboration”. Here’s some at iStockphoto, Getty, and Shutterstock. The Internet is lousy with shiny happy collaboration
  • Then we will shoot re-creations of the photos on our own. Joining hands, pointing at computers, whatever it takes
  • Along the way, we might even be collaborating!

Let’s do this. Fave this tweet if you want to be a model for COLLABORATION STOCK PHOTOS.
