I enjoyed seeing how Umbrico explored snapshots found on the Internet for clues about the personal lives of the people that uploaded them. In this new era of facebook and myspace, it's interesting that more might be said about a person in the picture they took of their television or armoire for crag's list. The TVs were especially interesting, as it never occurred to me that it's near impossible to take a photograph of a TV screen without capturing yourself and your surroundings as well. I was also very intrigued by the variety of colors and lines that were portrayed by broken LCD screens, as well as the look and feel of the 'sun' installation. Umbrico has a very refreshing approach to art, in taking the practicality and accessibility of available or recycled art, but applying it to our modern day Internet culture.
