CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE
Photo I took of an old Mayan grave in Mexico. I find it very interesting to explore different burial rituals and the local reasons why. In contrast to this, I found a place called “Express Crematorium” on bird road, Miami. Its powerful symbolic value is now gone and I will allways kick myself for not taking a photo of the outside sign. The “Mayan Grave” photo was also used in the album artwork for BOKOR´s album “Vermin Soul”.

RECLAIM YOUR DATA
/ “Dorian Gray” - Project by Interactive Institute and Visualization Center. Concept photography by Jason & Valentin Mellström.
While we increasingly are documented in private and public databases, we still don’t have access to the data we generate. Reclaim Your Data aims to gather, analyze and visualize these digital footprints, so that individuals may see and reflect upon their own behavior. Another aim is to democratize information in hidden databases, for example about products and services, that may be of use for support in decision making.
