Fortune Hunting — Wall Drawing

About This Site Search Other Models

Fortunes from each personal pronoun category are displayed in a series of vertical columns. A key orients viewers to search along 53 horizontal colored lines that connect specific fortunes. Each line denotes a particular category, such as travel, constancy, love, or luck. Reading the diagram becomes a tactile, physical experience unlike sitting at a computer. Obsessively executed, the drawing ports data from the site to the wall through the touch of the hand, reinforcing the relationship between reading and writing, subject and author. This schematic image shows "subject you" column headings with a red horizontal line connecting fortunes in the "love" category.
