CD Set: The Seven Deadly Sins

Paul  Wong

1993
5 x 5 1/2 x 3 1/4 in

Morality and Dr. Donald E. Wildman of the American Family Association in Tupelo, Mississippi has slammed the "new standard of perversion" in music and music videos among other media, in a recent NY Times full page ad, following the actions of Jesse Helms, Tipper Gore and Jerry Falwell. It seems appropriate to address the SEVEN DEADLY SINS graphically in the CD format to carry my assemblage of visual sources from magazines, CD art, and typography. These protoversions could be considered visual mock-ups of intended recordings of music or "audio text." Its like having a boxed set of bad influences or addictions.
