Our contemporary world consists of extreme opposites. Global and local, closure and opening, individuality and collectivity. life and death, ecological disaster and material abundance, scarcity and excess, times of prosperity and times of crisis — but there is something in between these opposing aspects — some connectors, not obvious but very useful. Some of them are marginalised and irrelevant. There are also areas of transition — relevant, important but largely invisible. It’s not like taking sides in a discussion or conflict (the global warming side or the anti-vaccine side, etc.).
This workshop will focus on designing visual messages about those spaces. It is based on an open design formula in which students will design visual messages in a form reflecting the issues at hand, with posters, magazines, art books, animated gifs, and recordings of ephemeral events or hyper-objects.
