scopOphilic1997 micro-message series overview
scopOphilic1997 presents a series of micro-message images that together co-produce worldly visions of the world around us. Micro-messages are small, subtle, and often unintentional messages we send and receive verbally and non-verbally. They may be included in micro-behaviors such as micro-aggressions, micro-affirmations. This series includes documentation of micro-messages found in the public sphere–written and visual markings, graffiti, street art, tags, stickers, posters, and other signifiers found in New York City or anywhere we travel. (We welcome your feedback. DM here or use the contact page on scopOphilic.com.)
