i might as well speak up, just for the record…i did my video gamer project in the spring of 2002…a few of the shots appeared in the New York Times magazine a little while later (then Wired, Walrus, Le Monde and a few others that have slipped my soggy memory)…in fact, i think i showed them to jen maybe a year or so later…

now, as to who’s version is better..well, that’s just a matter of personal taste..:) (of course, i’d be inclined to vote for mine…)

Toledano did this project around 2004 or so, so I doubt that he ripped off the idea. I have seen several similar projects since so I think it’s just one of those obvious ideas that’s in the ether at a moment in time. Toledano seems to be more about the agony, whereas Frischkorn is more interested in the ecstacy. But overall, the idea wears pretty thin pretty fast, and I hope everyone feels ready to move on now.

Or Toledano’s series reminds one of Frischkorn’s? I saw Toledano’s first some time ago, so that was my first reaction too. The concept and execution are almost the same. Similar enough to plant the suspicion of plagiarism by one party. But that’s probably not the case: the concept is simple enough to have been developed independently by both. I happen to like Frischkorn’s execution better, and it’s very interesting to see how different these two projects are despite conceptual and formal similarities.
