Toure: The Burden of the Perfect Victim

Toure: An information war is being waged in Ferguson, Mo., each salvo meant to shape public perceptions of Michael Brown and Darren Wilson. ...

What's that mean? Well, he uses rakes to create elaborate geometric patterns on Northern California beaches, letting them stand for others to admire until the tide comes in and wipes his sandy canvas clean. Like this: That video was made by the San Francisco Chronicle , which recently profiled Amador in a written story as well “Nothing else is on my mind when I’m doing my artwork,” Amador tells the Chronicle . “You can’t hear the cars. The city washes away. I kind of feel as though I’m painting. I’m using my whole body, and the end of the rake is my brush.” Read more... More about Videos and Watercooler
