The exhibition is accompanied by a website-as-essay which can be viewed here.

The exhibition is comprised of 32 posterettes printed using Risograph printing, a series of eight monolithic structures, video projection, and adhesive vinyl.

The prints in the exhibition are provided to the public on-site in an unnumbered edition of 500 Risograph A3-size prints and in PDF format on the exhibition website.

The exhibition reflects on the predominance of technology in graphic design as a sector of cultural production, offers a critique of technocratic plutocracies, and pokes holes at the shortcomings of graphic design theory-at-present. Simultaneously, the exhibition and accompanying lectures discussed the death of the critic,  the split between design theory and design practice, and the fragmentation of design practice today.Authentic Sneakers | Nike Air Force 1 Shadow White/Atomic Pink-Sail For Sale – Fitforhealth
