Context
Like
many, I strongly believe that the times we live in, dominated by an exploitative, growth-based and profit-oriented economic paradigm, call for an existential reassessment of
where humanity as a whole is going. This feels at once urgent, abstract and
impossible. Most of the concrete things we can do — voting, writing letters and petitions, changing our consumption habits, etc. — seem
irrelevant in the face of the structural nature of the problem. Well, organizing helps. Protests are necessary. But language itself
seems too indebted to economics to adequately formulate the questions we must
address. If we want to reconsider the very idea of how things are organized on
the most primary level, then what building blocks, what units, what metrics can we use that are not already the design
of the existing organization? What are the poetics of
change when it comes to structures, systems and economics? These are the questions I think about, and I try to make works that translate them in a visual form.
