"Acclaim Mix"
Celebrating the 400th Birthday of John Milton
August Highland
The "Acclaim Mix" departs from the standard 100 individual works that characterizes the other mixes from the "Paradise Effect." In this mix, August Highland begins by producing a large number of monumental scale works, each of which is 50 feet wide and as high as a six-story building. He then divides each work into panels of 60" x 60". The complete Acclaim Mix stretches over 12 city blocks or one and half miles and totals 6,000 panels. Each panel is a complete variation in composition and each one contains a different compilation of word fragments from Paradise Lost ranging in length from single character artifacts to 10-letter textstrings. There are over 33,000 text elements in each work.
Numbers #001 - #020 from the "Acclaim Mix" are available for viewing. For an enlarged view, click on one of the works below.
