Young Me/Now Me
Young Me/Now Me is a project started by new media artist, Ze Frank. He makes online games as well as projects that invite participation. This particular project asks people to recreate an old photo and submit both the old and new photos. It is fascinating to see how even though time passes, certain things like relationships and memories stand the test of time.

Great idea John. The first time I saw a flash mob I remember thinking that though on the surface it’s a shock, underneath, everyone “gets it.” So surprising to see how emotionally moved people are. Very potent, very visceral. Thanks for the thoughtful moment.

Beautiful. Love the ‘welcome back’ flash mob, Lori’s smile is huge at the end. It’s surprising how little effort it takes to make someone smile.
These are so cool, thanks John! I liked the picture of the strangers holding hands.
John, this was just so uplifting. What an interesting theme.
