Welcome to my Homepage presents Reader's Digest by Bianca Hockensmith.

Project Description

"I've been obsessed with my small collection of unopened, reader’s digest magazines from 2010/2011. reader’s digest is so mundane and gives the reader flu-like symptoms which also makes it unique. what is in these specific magazines? what information can i learn without opening the protective plastic wrapper?

what is behind the covers of my untouched reader's digest collection? i only need to read the title of the article off of the cover and it comes to me. rather than open and read, i want to sense the essence of these features and interpret them how i see fit. each issue is hidden behind a simple egg icon. please hover over the egg and it will appear to be cracked. click on a developing embryo and experience my version of the magazine."
