Ben Benjamin. Superbad. 1997.
This particular piece of the website made me stop and look at the images that were coming up on the screen. Smokers is what the page is describing and it breaks down a certain type of person and there smoking habits. Me being a smoker, it makes perfect sense to me what the artist is trying to accomplish. The people look as if they have their photos taken and had them filter in black and white and gray and it reminds me of being around a cigarette smoker or in a room filled with smoke. The artist also put up user profiles along with the type of cigarettes they smoke. The profiles along with the cigs that these people smoke were dead on. I love how he has a scrolling marquee at the bottom and having a pop up of the profiles.
