Scanwiches

Here's a great site: scanwiches.com. The concept could hardly be more simple. To quote the homepage, we are given "Scans of sandwiches for education and delight". Through this narrow focus, we are not only given a visual database of the universe of sandwiches available in New York City. We are also presented with an ongoing performance art piece that documents the infinite variety of shapes, colours and forms that exist within the most rudimentary of dishes. More than this, the site acts as a form of personal diary. Imagine if we were all able to call up a database of every meal we've eaten, article we've read, movie we've watched, shoe we've worn, hand we've shaked, toilet we've used, girl we've ogled, etc. etc. etc.
