DogOmen.com is an ongoing archive of dog internet findings (ranging from homepages of Geocities to TikTok screenshots to meme pages) and dogs I have documented on the street, DogOmen.com categorizes our interactions with dogs IRL and URL as prophetic significance, a sign from the universe. Through a random redirection of links, DogOmen.com grants you a message through the presence of Dog.
DogOmen.com is an observation on the rise of “hope core”, an internet aesthetic and philosophy that focuses on “finding feeling” through “cute”, “silly”, or “wholesome” imagery, as well the increasing spiritual awareness spread through the web, TikTok tarot card readings, “Double Tap To Claim This Message” and “If You’re Seeing This, It Is For A Reason” social media messaging, etc. Written text is pulled from existing online readings and paired with complementary imagery. Some omens are more straightforward and some are more cryptic. Whatever you are granted, let Dog guide you.
Dog Omens are continually added. To submit imagery to the archive, tag/direct message @dog.omen on Instagram or email submitdogomen@gmail.com.
Pulled imagery and text from DogOmen.com were used to create 11x17in risograph posters printed at @secret_riso_club. Coloring inspired by washed out posters and street signs.
