Superstorm

Design and Politics in the Age of Information

€ 19

add to cart
The Superstorm is a conceptual and narrative metaphor to illustrate the evolution of the relationship between political communication and new media technologies, which culminated in the tempestuous Western political visual culture of today. Within this vortex, complex and unexpected events occur, where politics is mixed with entertainment and communication is hyper-mediated through algorithms, memes and alternative realities.
As politicians refine marketing techniques applied to the electorate and online users become political trendsetters, designers face an impasse. But not all is lost in the Superstorm. Surprisingly, it might precisely be this uncertain future that holds the key for designers to question and reformulate their role and purpose within the political sphere.
In her first book Superstorm: Design and Politics in the Age of Information, Noemi Biasetton traces the development of the Superstorm from the 1960s to the present and proposes new coordinates that designers may consider on in order to, eventually, face its relentless evolution.

Notities uit het veld: over samenleven, rituelen en ritmes

add to cart

Wat gebeurt er als we hedendaagse uitdagingen op het platteland beschouwen als relaties in plaats van tegenstellingen? Vanuit veldwerk ervaringen verkent Seasonal Neighbours de wereld van de hedendaagse landbouw en Europese arbeidsmigratie.

Seasonal Matters Rural Relations traceert ritmes, rituelen en samenlevingsvormen op het Europese platteland en verkent de sociopolitieke impact die zij genereren. Het resultaat is een eigenzinnige verzameling van essays en interviews tot tekeningen en recepten.

In Seasonal Matters Rural Relations - Notities uit het veld: over samenleven, rituelen en ritmes worden de stemmen van landbouwers, arbeiders, geëngageerde burgers, kunstenaars en ontwerpers met elkaar vermenigvuldigd tot een gelaagde en veelzijdige conversatie.

Met bijdragen van: Claire Chassot, Jonathan De Maeyer, Anastasia Eggers, Fernando Garcia-Dory (Inland), Ciel Grommen, Pia Jacques, Carolien Lubberhuizen, Ioana Lupascu, Sébastian Marot, Karolina Michalik, Yacinth Pos, Caroline Profanter, Maximiliaan Royakkers, Ines Marita Schaerer, Arnd Spahn, Mona Thijs en Ewoud Vermote.

Onomatopee 252, Seasonal Neighbours, 2024

Seasonal Matters Rural Relations (ENG edition)

(Field)notes on rhythms, rituals and cohabitation

€ 25

add to cart

What if traditional relationships, between humans and non-humans, plants, the weather and the rhythm of the seasons, are being lost in the race for profit and for increasingly intensive methods of production? In sixteen contributions, interdisciplinary collective Seasonal Neighbours attempts to observe, record and archive narratives for the existing, disappearing and newly emerging relationships in the countryside.

Both theoretical and artistic contributions serve as a guide for perceiving the agricultural landscape. As a collage-style field-guide, Seasonal Matters Rural Relations addresses the role that artistic practices and fieldwork can play in the complexity of rural relations. The collective reflects on storytelling and the variety of themes from the evolution of metabolisms in horticulture, the changing rural landscape, stories of European labor migration to questions of robotisation and upscaling, domesticity, public space, new forms of citizenship, etc.

Seasonal Matters Rural Relations, (Field)notes on rhythms, rituals and cohabitation gathers different nuances of the agricultural realities experienced by the collective members in their neighbouring processes, working side by side with farmers, seasonal workers, plants and crops. These fieldwork experiences helped shape a variety of contributions moving from visual essays to graphic collages, poems, maps, short stories, picking songs and musical scores to intercultural recipes with wild plants.

With contributions by: Claire Chassot, Jonathan De Maeyer, Anastasia Eggers, Fernando Garcia-Dory (Inland), Ciel Grommen, Pia Jacques, Carolien Lubberhuizen, Ioana Lupascu, Sébastian Marot, Karolina Michalik, Yacinth Pos, Caroline Profanter, Maximiliaan Royakkers, Ines Marita Schaerer, Arnd Spahn, Mona Thijs and Ewoud Vermote.
