Corporate Signs
By David Byrne and Danielle Spencer
A series of lenticular images based on corporate signs photographed at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Multinational tombstones nestled in the (landscaped) pastoral glade. When viewed from different angles the original corporate name transforms and flickers into a virtuous attribute. A utopian vision in the American countryside.
