When an idea becomes something tangible, it's an amazing experience. The idea of Visually Versed began its journey years ago and just recently became something people could touch and feel. So now, here we are debuting to a MUCH larger group at the International Christian Retail Show in Atlanta, GA. Check out our Instagram photos below and check back too, these are just the beginning shots of our presence and experience at the show.
this is an odd one alright, but in a good way.
in this post-Matrix, uber-digital, information age, we've never had more access to knowledge. but it's created a dichotomy.
we're more knowledgeable, yet not necessarily wiser...people still do some really stupid stuff, there are entire shows dedicated to it. we're more accessible and yet privacy concerns are at an all-time high. and we're more connected but statistics state there's an epidemic of loneliness.
either way, this design can be interpreted in so many different ways...what's your take on it?
this is the hallmark image of visually versed. created during a time of social unrest in the u.s.
the towers had fallen, the recession hit...banks collapsed, corruption increased and reality T.V. glorified the baser side of life in the name of entertainment.
this time called to mind other historic works of art created as a call for freedom and justice like Delacroix's 1830 painting, Liberty Leading the People, and the iconic 1968 photograph of Tommie Smith and John Carlos' "human rights salute" at the Mexico City Olympics.
out of a sense of empowerment, because art is influential, and concern, because it's not meant to incite violence but increase awareness..."wisdom cries in the street" was designed.
