I want to be a multi-hyphenate
In his prime, ZanFagna was a dizzyingly prolific multi-hyphenate. He exhibited in museums like the Whitney and LACMA. He hung out with Andy Warhol, Yoko Ono and John Lennon. He designed the Rutgers School of Art and was a beloved professor at the school. By all measures he was was a successful artist, and yet, he’s barely Google-able.
From WIred‘s piece “The Brilliant, Forgotten Futurist Who Predicted the Kindle“. I’d never heard of Don ZanFagna (proving the “barely Google-able” qualifier above) but I’m now entirely intrigued. I also want to spend an entire afternoon rifling through his notebooks to see the weird clippings and drawings in context. It’s sort of like he predicted the best of Tumblr, too…
