My eyes are playing tricks on me…
It is late, and I just watched this strange story about the rise of branding on Nightline. The story was quite mundane, but as the blond female reporter walked through the an alley in England she described the cultural importance of scarification techniques.
What fascinated me, is as she talked and described the Abroigines culture with faces that were tattoed, or the gypsies in Europe being branded with a V, these types of modifications digitally and seamlessley appeared on her body. As she started to talk about American tattooing as a novelty, the mark of the ‘v’ vanished off of her chest, and a heart appeared on her forearm. It was odd, and visually spectacular.
Strange what this new technology is allowing commerical venues do. Wish you could have seen it.
