SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.
From the 2016 puzzle platform game Unravel. Inspiration for one of three semio audits I’m doing concurrently on behalf of the same videogame company.
Watching and analyzing many movies, TV shows, and videogames in support of a semio audit on behalf of a forthcoming action-adventure videogame set in the 19th century American West.
Continuing to interview semioticians from around the world — shown here, a colleague based in Malaysia — a forthcoming installment in the Q&A series MAKING SENSE, at our sister site SEMIOVOX.
Detail of a paperback edition of Stanislaw Lem’s The Futurological Congress — about which I’ve written a forthcoming installment for the HILOBROW series FIRST TIME AS COMEDY.
HILOBROW’s homepage on July 9th. I liked the way it looks.
In July, I started researching old horror movie posters, to illustrate the SCREAM YOUR ENTHUSIASM series that Heather Quinlan is editing. The series will run here at HILOBROW in 4Q2024 — just in time for Halloween. PS: Shown here is a detail of a poster for the movie about which I’m writing. Do you recognize it?
Detail from Magritte’s “Le Double secret” (1927), for a forthcoming installment in the RADIUM AGE ART series here at HILOBROW.
What a world we live in right now…
