Surreal Reproductions of News International Report

In the UK news, some developments have happened in the on-going investigation by parliament in relation to the conduct of News International and its employees.

Released today on the UK Parliament’s website is a 102 page document (in pdf form) which features a response to questions asked by committee members from News International. In relation to question 2 is a Code Of Conduct brochure, which is obviosuly reproduced by photocopier.

Its interesting coming across these image of a bizarre relationship of images to statements, the sort of thing Barbara Kruger is famous for, plus some irony. Add the black and white reproductive quality and dithering and you have a weird aesthetic effect.
