Visual Art / Nerd The Year Was 1990...

Stumbling through the internets today I was reminded that two of my favorite things happened in 1990: Twin Peaks and Edward Scissorhands.

Better yet, people made artwork celebrating the 20th anniversary of each, and every piece is delightful.

In The Trees: Twin Peaks 20th Anniversary Art Exhibition includes original works by various artists, including David Lynch. There is also a collection of photos from the set of Twin Peaks.

Damn fine coffee.

It goes well with my 6 core machine.

Quick, tell the Log Lady we need more pithy quotes.

In 1990 I was living in Minneapolis and not enjoying it much. Twin Peaks made me homesick for the NW, and was a big factor in deciding to return to Seattle.

Will in Seattle would like to take this opportunity to mention that he has a new computer with a powerful processor. We now return you to our regular programming.

Twin Peaks basically started a whole genre of tv programming that continues through today, so you can't underestimate its impact. ( Ya, ya, I know somebody will mention Dark Shadows but that was much more of a traditional soap opera than usually believed)...

Too bad Lynch killed it right off the bat in the second season...

there is an article in this month's VF that asserts that culture has been in an aesthetic stasis since 1990 and that all the change is coming from tech, not style - music, fashion, tv, etc.
