GRUNGE TEXTURE

For those who missed it, GRUNGE TEXTURE was a multi-disciplinary event centred around the aesthetic phenomena of rough, weathered and worn surfaces as a virtual effect: https://www.google.ca/search?rlz=1C1CHFA_enCA484CA486&sugexp=chrome,mod=4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=grunge+texture
 Grunge textures are both an aesthetic design motif, and a social dialogue, stemming from the Seattle music craze of the 1990’shttps://www.google.ca/search?rlz=1C1CHFA_enCA484CA486&sugexp=chrome,mod=4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=grunge+texture#hl=en&rlz=1C1CHFA_enCA484CA486&sclient=psy-ab&q=grunge+&oq=grunge+&gs_l=serp.3..0i9l2j0l2.182055.182991.0.183696.7.7.0.0.0.0.111.641.6j1.7.0…0.0.bgjCBRWGjuA&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=e93bef4ec5a768cd&biw=998&bih=508 (think Nirvana, et al.), continuing within the contemporary inclusion of grunge texture within popular culture (think UFC posters,  Internet art and general cultural weirdness).
