Social Design

Participants: BAVO, DEM collective, Marcus Jahnke, Mathilda Tham, Otto von Busch, Anders Emilson

‘“…the new ’political economy of design’ is marketing culture, branding of identity and specularization of commodities. Everything—not only architectural projects and art exhibitions but everything from jeans to genes—seems to be regarded as so much design…It is under this sense of design that so many of the crimes against life under capitalism are committed…Contemporary design, is part of a greater revenge of capitalism on postmodernism.”

“Contemporary design, is design purged of any lingering traces of resistance.” Hal Foster – Design & Crime
