Maybe it's this I most enjoy, it's so loose. In particular with ffffound, the visual information is the authority. The site deals with the visual information, sometimes poorly, but tries to match similar colours, similar type, similar sizes, photographs with other photographs(a qualitative approach). The finders are celebrated, they have their own stream not the designers, or authors. Without these finders would have found this watch? Or would it have been lost into the void in the Web. Ethically, should finders be more personal responsible to credit original ownership? “…pull so much creative work free of its cultural and personal, authorial anchors?” Maybe it’s this I most enjoy, it’s so loose.
