Through a series of mixed media and ready-made artefacts, the designer contemplates the conflict between reality and manufactured truth. Absurdity as a philosophical foundation is visualised in the manipulation and combination of image and the incorporation of ready made image and artefact. It can be seen in the tension of "art' and "design' practice and the ambivalence of meeting the criteria of either discipline.
There is no absolute truth. While activism can lean on science to support its reason for being, we live in a time of fake news, censorship, mass media manipulation and manufactured consent. Our access to accurate information is limited while simultaneously being saturated by it. This collection of creative works encourages us to consider how we can move beyond activism and change the system that perpetuates its necessity.
