Au Revoir Sorts, Hello Nihilism


Hi all,

I've become very tired of the old art page and not just with its design, but with the content. Recently I've decided to try something new in a project I like to call Au Revoir Sorts, Hello Nihilism. Rather than just use a web site to serve up images, I want the pages to be a big part of the art itself. The intent is as follows:

Au Revoir Sort, Hello Nihilism is a wandering journey with very few answers. Every page leads to a random destination and may express themselves in different ways. For instance, certain pages may just be a drawing speaking for itself and another page will be dominated by text. Since everything is based on chance, there is a possibility that the user may never see every page. Themes may focus on social relationships, psychological trauma, a joke, or politics.

The project is ultimately a means of depicting the contradictory elements of the world. However, as far as I may pull in different directions, my interpretation gives the project an underlying cohesion.

As this project is new, it's rather small right now. You should expect, however, that it could grow to hundreds of pages in the coming months. Click here to continue forward.
