I'm an artist and had just made some pieces inspired by the Raw Shark Texts and was wondering if theres anything else out there also inspired by it... I found it so rich, I almost feel sure other artists somewhere must have felt it was similarly inspiring....
I made a series of collages on wood, that are here....

Anyone know of anything else out there or have created something themselves?

Hi Claire. Welcome to the forums. You have your blog set to private so I was unable to view the artwork. Would love to see them. Could you upload them to a photo sharing site or perhaps make the blog visible? Thanks!

These are great, the first and last images I especially like. Thanks for sharing.

This is somewhere between art and evidence. The site is anonymous, so there is no telling where it came from, but this should be interesting/horrifying to anyone who loved the book. I have not searched very well, but yourworldoftext is probably swarming with conceptual fish. Take a look. www.yourworldoftext.com/ludovician

My girlfriend introduced me to yourworldoftext and I immediately began trying pages to see what had already been colonized. "Bible" was interesting, "houseofleaves" was not, for instance. Under "Ludovician" I was kind of not surprised to find that one lurking.

Awesome. That's my photo! My fiancée and I thought just that when we saw it on vacation. Didn't spot the ludovician, though.

Life is one big coincidence. My business partner and I have been photographing light bulbs for no good reason the past month with an eye towards an exhibition in the spring of next year. I cracked open The Raw Shark Texts last night for the first time ~ and spent the entire night enthralled by this genre-bending masterpiece of a novel. More to the point of this post, I had a sudden sense of déjà vu when I traipsed upon The Light Bulb Fragment. To understand ~ I offer a hint at our very own Light Bulb Studies ~ At present we have posted only two or three of a projected hundred-image series. (If by some coincidence, Steven Hall happens to read this post one day ~ we would love you to incorporate these images somehow into your ever-evolving TRST universe). Here is the link: http://www.axraven.comSimply scroll down to see The Light Bulb Studies. Later in the year, we will be adding the rest of the images to our ONLINE GALLERY. Long live the genius behind TRST.

Hi DogCatMouse,
Thanks for all the good words about the book - glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
These light blub pictures are very cool indeed, how were they made? Will you let us know when the rest of the series is online?

The Light Bulb Series was shot in a dark room using a telephoto lens at a very slow shutter speed ~ but the real secret was the lamp itself: a retro lamp (probably from the seventies) ~ salvaged quite haphazardly from a rusting city dumpster behind an abandoned warehouse. That is to say, most certainly from Unspace: the daily stomping grounds of photographer B. Moody. Currently sorting though the 150-plus images of the Light Bulb Series ~ Will post updates as we progress. We hope to have the entire series posted by early 2010. http://www.axraven.com
