Invisible Hand – Novus Ordo Seclorum
This isn’t done yet, but it’s what I’ve been doing all day. Besides blowing my nose like it’s my j-o.
It’s another trite pun image – Adam Smith’s Invisible Hand. I overlaid a dollar-bill over Dave‘s hand and tried to highlight that Novus Ordo Seclorum motto (New Order of The Ages). I guess the invisible hand of capitalism is kinda the new order of this age.
Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis aetas
magnus ab integro saeclorum nascitur ordo.
iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna,
iam nova progenies caelo demittitur alto. (Vergil)“The last prophecy has come to the Cumaean Sibyl;
A brand new great order of the ages is born;
For now the Virgin and the age of Saturn have returned;
Now a new Child has been sent from the heavens.”
The Photoshop itself is made of three samples:
1) Background: Close up photo of a Visa Card taken by Mike Schorr. The effects were – [Image/Adjustments/Desaturate] and [Filter/Stylize/Glowing Edges]
2) Hand: 3D Scan of Michelangelo’s David, done by Stanford. Chris Cox went to Stanford and he’s smart. These facts are unrelated. Effects were [Filter/Brush Strokes/Accented Edges].
3) Money: US dollar bill, scanned by treachery.net. Opacity, 45%.
