Love Design Delirium
Love, Design Delirium explores the breadth of a generation that nourishes itself on humour, naivety, poetry and play, combined with a strong belief in the power of ‘the scenius’; the creative drive of individuals in a group.Their visual language is characterized by a personal notion, which simultaneously reflects universal human actions. Absurd and sensitive, the works excel in conveying a love of life and compassion for the surroundings.In a hectic, product-oriented and media-controlled society, such an agile ability to put things into perspective is essential, a true elixir of life that keeps us alert: Yes! Live! Do it!
With HuMobisten, Sebastiaan Straatsma, Rafaël Rozendaal, Oliver Laric, 75B, Parra,Jaap Scheeren, Anouk Kruithof, Daniëlle van Ark, Körner Union

White Glove Tracking
There are 10,060 frames of video in Michael Jackson’s 5 min 34 sec nationally televised landmark performance of Billy Jean. The White Glove Tracking project (W.G.T.) is an effort to isolate just the white glove from this moment in pop-culture history. Rather then write unnecessarily complex code to find the glove in every frame of the video I am asking for the assistance of 10,060 individual internet users to simply click and drag a box around the glove in one frame. In the end this data will be shared freely for all to download, visualize, and use as an input into other digital systems.

… question essentielle : est-ce un hasard si le graphisme est le lieu où la tensionentre la création et le commerce, l’art et l’argent semble la plus vive ? Il suffit peut-être de regarderles termes du contrat pour y répondre. Graphisme et typographie semblent constituer le champ privilégié où se crée, et se joue le jeu de la valeur.

Mai 68, l’affiche en héritage
Mai 68, l’affiche en héritage
Quarante ans après les Evénements de Mai 1968, il paraît d’un intérêt tout particulier de retracer ce que fut la production des affiches des «ateliers populaires», qui constitue en quelque sorte la part la plus tangible de l’héritage. C’est la raison pour laquelle la Galerie Anatome présente, du 7 mai au 26 juillet, une centaine de créations parmi les plus notables de l’Atelier populaire de l’Ecole nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris (ENSBA) et de celui de l’Ecole nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD).
