Mark Lombardi drew corporate org charts, and eventually wen insane.
Lombardi called his diagrams Narrative Structures and they are structurally similar to sociograms – a diagram drawn from the field of social network analysis, and to a lesser degree to earlier artists like Hans Haacke – but in Lombardi’s historical diagrams, each node or connection was drawn from news stories from reputable media organizations. The aesthetic impact is unique – the schematics are elaborate and delicate, yet precise and factual spiderwebs of illustrations depicting networks of criminal conspiracies.
